Diamondbacks Designate Madison Bumgarner For Assignment
2 years agoThe 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.
