Madison Bumgarner

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports Madison Bumgarner's contract with the Diamondbacks is for five years and $85 million.

Fantasy Impact

Jeff Passan was the first to report the signing but Rosenthal comes in with the financials. Bumgarner had been seeking a five-year, $100 million contract to begin the off-season, which was pretty a aggressive desire, and he winds up getting a deal that is pretty close to that. The 30-year-old posted a 3.90 ERA in 207 2/3 innings last season and certainly helps boost Arizona's rotation. It's fair to wonder how effective he'll be outside Oracle Park, however.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks are closing in on a five-year contract agreement.

Fantasy Impact

No word yet on the financial terms. This would seemingly be a net-negative for Bumgarner's fantasy value as he leaves spacious Oracle Park. However, it's worth pointing out that he has a career 3.13 ERA in 118 innings at Chase Field. We should learn more about this signing within the hour.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports Madison Bumgarner is seeking a five-year, $100 million deal in free agency.

Fantasy Impact

The logic would be that Zack Wheeler just signed for five years and $118 million. However, it would still be a bit surprising if a team ponied up a six-figure contract for the 30-year-old lefty. He has been linked to a plethora of teams this off-season.

Madison Bumgarner declined his one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer.

Fantasy Impact

He'll now have draft pick compensation tied to his contract status. It could be somewhat of an issue for the 30-year-old starter, as front offices no longer spend in free agency the way they used to.

Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area writes that Madison Bumgarner is seen as a "priority" for the Braves this winter.

Fantasy Impact

Bumgarner was given a qualifying offer from the Giants but is expected to reject it. He'll be looking for a multi-year deal this off-season and Atlanta certainly has a need for starting pitching. The former World Series MVP posted a 3.90 ERA over 34 starts in 2019.
