We are 23 days away from the trade deadline and Madison Bumgarner continued to be mentioned as a person of interest for teams that remain in contention. Per a report in The Athletic (subscription required), the Milwaukee Brewers are one of those teams.
What is interesting about the article is the implied negotiating acumen and position of Giants’ President of Baseball Operations, Farhan Zaidi, and Ken Rosenthal suggests that Zaidi will not give up the World Series hero without substantial return.
Rosenthal mentioned four teams interested in Bumgarner: Houston, Atlanta, Minnesota, and Milwaukee.
