Madison Bumgarner

Bumgarner's ERA approached 4.00 last year, but he stayed healthy all year and saw a velocity bump after two injury-plagued years. The move to Arizona is a downgrade considering the park change, but it's not quite as drastic as it would have been without the humidor. Still, Bumgarner's numbers were significantly worse away from Oracle Park last year (2.93 ERA at home, 5.29 away), so it's fair to exercise caution with Bumgarner. But, so long as you recognize him for what he is at this point in his career, he'll likely give you what you expect.

Madison Bumgarner and Diamondbacks agree to five-year, $85 million deal

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.
