Firmware mostly resides in the non-free branch of the Debian
repositories, because of its binary-only nature.

tg3.bin is in the package firmware-misc-nonfree and this is in non-free.
So you need to add "non-free" (and while you're at it "contrib") to your
sources.list:
deb http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
