In gorgeous information out of Arizona, the Diamondbacks have designated Madison Bumgarner for project. The previous Big and long-time Dodgers nemesis had yet one more season and $34 million left on the 5 yr deal he inked with Arizona forward of the 2020 season.
Issues have been a nightmare for MadBum since he left San Francisco. In three-plus seasons with the Dbacks, the left-hander has a 13-12 document with a 5.23 ERA — together with a ten.26 ERA this season — in 69 not-so-nice begins.
After he clears waivers, he’ll be launched and free to signal with any membership for the prorated main league minimal.
Again within the 2019-2020 offseason, rumors linked Bumgarner to the Dodgers. He was coming off a season the place he made 34 begins and posted a 3.90 ERA however within the years earlier than that had been dominant for the Giants. When he turns into a free agent once more in just a few days, let’s hope the Dodgers don’t discover signing the grumpy outdated Bum as one other reclamation undertaking. They don’t want one other Cole Hamels kind on the roster.
