The Arizona Rattlers said “enough” in their attempt to redirect Madison Bumgarner’s career, to the point that they put the starting pitcher on assignment.
Sure enough, ESPN broke the news linked to the 2014 World Series MVP, adding that the desert currency will pay the remaining $34 million on the veteran lefty’s contract anyway.
It must be remembered that prior to the 2020 course, the Arizona Rattlesnakes and Madison Bumgarner agreed for five campaigns and 85 million in US currency; agreement that could not justify the guest to four MLB All-Star Games, since his lifetime record with that club was 15-32 and a 5.23 ERA in 69 starts.

Additionally, the one-time San Francisco Giants ace had a dismal start to 2023, going 0-3 with 10.26 in clean lines over 16.2 innings of work.
Likewise, the aforementioned media outlet stated that it is quite feasible that no one would take Bumgarner on waivers in order to be released and be signed by some organization in exchange for $720,000; the minimum salary for players with at least 10 seasons in the majors.
Undoubtedly, the Arizona Rattlers want to think now about a new project in the future, where Madison Bumgarner is not.
