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.
The Giants suddenly find themselves in an interesting situation. Considered arguably the worst team in the National League at the All-Star break, San Francisco has improbably looked like a different team over the past few weeks, winning 12 of their last 14 games, including an improbable sweep at Coors Field.
As the July 31st trade deadline approaches, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic joined Murph & Mac Monday morning to discuss what direction the Giants could go.
Mike Krukow stopped by the Murph & Mac Show on Friday morning to discuss why he likes the move to start the second half of the season with Shaun Anderson on the pitcher’s mound.
On Monday morning, Ken Rosenthal reported in The Athletic that four teams are interested in trading for Madison Bumgarner. On Monday evening Rosenthal went a step further.
Madison Bumgarner and Will Smith looked like they were guaranteed to be heading to contending teams at the trading deadline, but this recent run has muddied those waters to some degree.
We’re just over three weeks away from the MLB trade deadline, and the San Francisco Giants have a number of large chips that are expected to be moved. Arguably the biggest of which is soon-to-be free agent Madison Bumgarner, who has been the subject of rumors since last season.
