Giants Trade Rumors: Madison Bumgarner, Relievers Available Despite Hot Streak

The San Francisco Giants' recent resurgence reportedly won't impact their plan to be dealing assets leading up to the July 31 trade deadline.

Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Madison Bumgarner and all of the Giants relievers remain available to teams interested in adding to their pitching staffs. 

Passan noted the Giants "tried to jump the deadline" by shopping Bumgarner in June, but "nothing substantive came of that" and interested teams think a deal will come closer to July 31. 

There are currently 17 teams in both leagues either in the playoffs or within 3.5 games of a playoff spot. 

The Giants are included in that group because they have put themselves back into postseason contention with 12 wins in their last 15 games. Going into Wednesday's game, they were only three games out of the second National League wild-card spot, despite being three games under .500 (46-49). 

Bumgarner is the biggest name of the potential trade candidates because of his previous postseason heroics. The 29-year-old has been solid this season with a 3.86 ERA and 1.22 ERA but doesn't look like the dominant ace he was in his prime. 

Closer Will Smith could be the most sought-after player on the Giants. He's a left-handed reliever with a 2.75 ERA with 56 strikeouts and nine walks in 39.1 innings.

Sam Dyson has a 2.74 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 46 innings. He's also under team control for one more season before being eligible for free agency. 

The Giants could be the team most clubs interested in adding to their roster turn to because everyone is always looking for pitching help down the stretch. In a market without many clear-cut sellers, they have the potential to set up their future this summer if they end up making multiple deals.
