Madison Bumgarner News
The Arizona Diamondbacks officially released left-hander Madison Bumgarner on Wednesday. Any MLB team can now sign him for the league minimum of $720,000. Bumgarner's time in the desert came to an end last week when Arizona designated him for assignment after his rough start to the 2023 campaign. It was most definitely a tough decision for the D-backs, as they still owe him almost $36 million guaranteed. The four-time All-Star had a 10.26 ERA (8.13 FIP), 2.40 WHIP, 15 walks and 10 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings over four starts to begin the year before being cut. In his four seasons in Arizona, MadBum struggled to a 5.23 ERA (5.18 FIP), 1.38 WHIP and 17.4 percent strikeout rate in 69 starts. He could latch on with another team, but the veteran southpaw's illustrious career is nearing an end.
The Arizona Diamondbacks designated left-hander Madison Bumgarner for assignment on Thursday after four ugly starts to open the 2023 campaign, according to sources. Bumgarner has a 10.26 ERA in his four starts this year and entered the season still owed $37 million on his five-year, $85 million deal that he signed before the 2020 season. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw just hasn't had it early on this year, as he's allowed 20 runs (19 earned) on 25 hits (four home runs surrendered) while walking 15 and striking out 10 in 16 2/3 innings over his four starts. This will effectively end his time with Arizona, and he'll be on the open market shortly after passing through waivers. A change of scenery could help MadBum, but fantasy managers shouldn't bet on it.
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner is off to a horrendous beginning to the season. The left-hander was torched for seven runs over three innings of work during Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He holds a 10.26 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 10/15 K/BB ratio across four starts this season. Following Wednesday's game, manager Torey Lovullo said he isn't committing to Bumgarner making his next start. He continued by saying that he'll need to talk it over before making a decision. The 33-year-old might find his way into the bullpen if things don't start getting better for him on the mound.
