Report: Bumgarner gives Giants strategic no-trade list

Veteran left-hander Madison Bumgarner's contract with the San Francisco Giants allows him to put eight teams on his no-trade list, and he reportedly has done just that.

Bumgarner, who becomes a free agent after the season, has submitted this no-trade list to the Giants, according to Ken Rosenthal of the MLB Network: Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals.

But Rosenthal said that doesn't mean Bumgarner won't wind up with one of those teams. Instead, his list gives him better control of where he could wind up and over his future as a free agent.
