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

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.

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.

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.

The Giants extended a one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer to Madison Bumgarner.

They also extended one to closer Will Smith. Bumgarner is not the ace starter he once was but still posted a 3.90 ERA in 207 2/3 innings for San Francisco this year.

Madison Bumgarner received a no-decision on Tuesday versus Colorado, allowing four runs on six hits over seven innings pitched.

Bumgarner struck out nine and walked two as the Giants went on to lose a wild one in 16 innings. The lefty is 9-9 with a 3.90 ERA in 34 starts this season. He'll make his final start of the year in the Giants' regular season finale on Sunday against the Dodgers.
