D-backs designate 4-time All-Star Bumgarner for assignment
PHOENIX — The up-and-coming Arizona Diamondbacks see themselves as potential contenders in the National League West after a good start to the season. The D-backs designated four-time All-Star Madison Bumgarner for assignment following his latest shaky start, eating just over $34.4 million of the salary from his $85 million, five-year deal that was signed in 2020. The team has played its butts off over the first three weeks of the season, frankly.” The move takes Bumgarner off the team’s 40-man roster and leaves Arizona seven days to trade the 2014 World Series MVP or else place him on outright waivers. But I don’t.” Hazen praised Bumgarner on Thursday, saying the pitcher came to spring training in great shape and did everything he could to improve. He was a workhorse for San Francisco during that time, going over 200 innings seven times in addition to 16 postseason appearances, including a memorable five-inning save in Game 7 of the ’14 Series.
