The Giant and Rays, wild-card hopefuls in the National and American League races, respectively, have reportedly talked about a rare major league player for major league player swap.

Source: #Rays, #SFGiants have been in contact regarding Giants relievers. Giants may move a reliever and keep Bumgarner after recent surge, especially if deal is need-for-need at @MLB level. Joey Wendle or Michael Brosseau would help SF infield. @MLBNetwork

Wendle, the ex-A, has just a .541 OPS after a breakout 2018 that saw him slash .300/.354/.435. Wendle has played second base, third base and shortstop. Brosseau, a 25-year-old rookie, who’s seen time at second, third and even right field, is hitting .322 with four homers through his first 59 at bats.

The Giants bullpen has been headlined by the likes of Will Smith, Sam Dyson, Tony Watson and Reyes Moronta.
