The Arizona Diamondbacks signed veteran starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner to a five-year, $85 million contract Sunday, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.
Bumgarner spent the first 11 seasons of his MLB career with the San Francisco Giants after they selected him with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2007 draft out of high school.
By signing the 30-year-old lefty, the Diamondbacks added a much-needed ace to their starting rotation after trading Zack Greinke to the Houston Astros at the deadline last season.
Along with the newly signed Bumgarner, Robbie Ray, Merrill Kelly, Alex Young, Luke Weaver and Mike Leake are all candidates for the rotation.
