MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal reports that Bumgarner will ink a five-year deal worth $85 million. As part of the deal, $15 million will be deferred.

Bumgarner struggled with injuries in 2017 and 2018 but bounced back with a solid season in 2019. The 30-year-old played NL-most 34 games by a pitcher and posted 9-9 record. He had a 3.90 ERA and 203 strikeouts.

There was a big market for Madison Bumgarner this offseason, with multiple teams pursuing his signature. Washington Nationals viewed him as a backup in case they couldn’t get Stephen Strasburg back, while LA Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels also made compelling cases. Still, Bumgarner preferred going to Arizona and ended up focusing on Diamondbacks.

During his time in San Francisco, Bumgarner won three World Series and had four All-Star appearances. He was NLCS MVP and World Series MVP in 2014.

According to reports, it appears that one of the players that the Giants will look to move before the July 31st trade deadline is franchise icon Madison Bumgarner.

Bumgarner, who is in the final season of his current contract, could be acquired as a short-term “rental” by several contending teams that are looking to upgrade their starting pitching in preparation for the playoffs.

The surly lefty is one of the most decorated players in the history of the Giants franchise. He has compiled a 115-90 record with a career 3.10 ERA and 1,706 strikeouts during his time in SF.

In addition, Bumgarner is one of the best playoff pitchers of all time. He was named the World Series MVP in 2014 after a sensational series against the Kansas City Royals and is the owner of a stunning 0.25 career ERA in three career World Series appearances.

This postseason pedigree makes Bumgarner an even more attractive option despite his 2019 struggles. It has been reported that the Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Twins, and the Houston Astros are potential destinations for the left-hander.

The Giants will have until July 31st to trade Bumgarner in a non-waiver deal.
