Why Giants manager Gabe Kapler has yet to reach out to Madison Bumgarner

Those hoping Madison Bumgarner returns to the Giants may not be comforted by new manager Gabe Kapler admitting Thursday he’s yet to speak to the free-agent pitcher.

Kapler, who has been on the job 10 days, told 95.7 The Game that while he’s spoken to some players already most of his time has been spent working on bringing in a new pitching coach and hitting coach.

“I have not talked to MadBum yet,” Kapler said on The Bonta, Steiny & Guru Show. “I’m very interested to see how that all plays out. I know he’s out there exploring and I completely understand his perspective on that.
