It's hard to find anyone in the MLB who believes the San Francisco Giants will trade Madison Bumgarner before Wednesday's trade deadline, and now it sounds like the team plans to keep its bullpen intact as well.

During a Monday appearance on 95.7 The Game's "Joe, Lo & Dibs" morning show, MLB Network insider Jon Morosi said the Giants are expected to hang on to "big relievers."

"Guys, I got to tell you. I was told yesterday, after the Giants' win — after they won that game — they're now two above .500," he said. "Yes, they've got a difficult road to get to the playoffs. I understand that... But I was told, at this point in time, that they are planning to keep Bumgarner. They're planning to keep their big relievers as well. They may make a move but I would say it's a smaller chance."

Relievers Will Smith, Sam Dyson and Tony Watson have all been discussed as potential trade chips in recent weeks.

According to Morosi, the impending retirement of manager Bruce Bochy may be a factor in the team's decision to hold onto players who would undoubtedly receive interest on the trade market.

"They seem to be content," he said. "Going forward here, I think the fact this is Bochy's last year is playing into this. And, again, based on what I was told by sources yesterday, the Giants are expecting to keep their big pitchers right now and to try and make a run at this thing between now and the end of the season."



The Giants are currently two and a half games back of the NL's final wild card spot.

Last week, multiple MLB insiders reported the Giants are unlikely to trade Bumgarner due to the team's stunning second-half resurgence.

On Tuesday, Morosi reported San Francisco had "been in contact" with the Tampa Bay Rays about a trade involving the Giants' relievers.

"Giants may move a reliever and keep Bumgarner after recent surge, especially if deal is need-for-need at @MLB level," Morosi tweeted. "Joey Wendle or Michael Brosseau would help SF infield."

But now, it appears that may be off the table as well.
