Rumors about who the San Francisco Giants are going to trade have followed the club since the offseason. Now eleven days before the deadline, those rumors have only ramped up, with the club improbably sitting just two games out of the final NL Wild Card spot.
It started in mid-June, a little flicker when they won four straight against the Padres and Brewers. But, naw, back then the Giants were 30-38, eight games under and we were all busy enmeshed in Warriors drama, ACLs, Achilles tendons, all that.
The Giants recent play has made the upcoming trade deadline much more interesting. Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle joined Murph & Mac Friday morning to discuss if the team should buy or sell.
Kevin Durant’s free agency decision to join the Brooklyn Nets has been a common talking point this offseason. NBA veteran Kendrick Perkins joined the Murph & Mac show Friday morning to discuss the superstar’s decision.
“Well, I’ve never really answered that, but I will say this to you,” Selig said. “In my mind, even though Bonds holds the record, and I’ve said records are records, I think you know how I feel about Henry Aaron.”
MLB Network’s Matt Vasgersian stopped by the Murph & Mac show to discuss the perils of the Giants’ hot streak and their ever-changing trade deadline plans.
