The Giants reportedly were willing to listen to offers for ace pitcher Madison Bumgarner, but as of Thursday, they are "less likely" to ship him out of the Bay Area, according to MLB.com.
A source said it is becoming less and less likely that the Giants will trade Madison Bumgarner this winter, though it still can't be ruled out. A midseason trade seems more likely if the Giants are not in contention, the source said.

The Phillies, Brewers, Yankees and Braves were rumored landing spots for the left-hander if the Giants decided to make a move.
