Unrelated to this game but I'm curious to get others take on this.... anyone think the Giants make Bumgarner available? He's got 2 years left on his deal after this and SF is the worst team in the majors right now. My gut says they throw money at the problem but their farm system isn't particularly good. They have 2 55 grade players according to mlb.com and 5 50 grade players.
I personally don't think they'd entirely burn it down but Bumgarner would allow them to get a premium player or 3 and the FA pitching crop starts to look better after this coming offseason. It would also free up money to extend Pence and they already have pretty lengthy deals on Shark, Cueto and Moore. Cain comes off the books i think after next year.
I'm of two minds. I sorta think it's probably the right move but I don't think the Giants would do it. They seem early 2000's yankees like to just keep buying old guys and hope it works.
I heard Cueto and Samatdzija could be available..
Cueto could be interesting..
Owed 22 mil age 32 to 35
So, not sure if Cubs wanna pay the money on someone at that age..
I hope they stay away from shark..
I'm thinking Archer and maybe Darvish are the Cubs top choices right now...
