MLB Rumors: Madison Bumgarner Agrees To Five-Year Deal With Diamondbacks

Now, it’s Madison Bumgarner’s turn.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Bumgarner on Sunday agreed to a five-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The veteran left-hander spent his first 11 Major League Baseball seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
