Friday BP: Madison Bumgarner designated for assignment

Good morning, baseball fans!

I can’t say that it came as much of a shock to me yesterday when the Arizona Diamondbacks announced they were designating Madison Bumgarner for assignment.

The former San Francisco Giants ace (and forever Giants Legend) signed a five-year contract with the Diamondbacks after the 2019 season, when he became a free agent for the first time in his career.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to find a lot of success in the desert. He missed a lot of the 2020 season due to a back injury, making only nine starts.
