MadBum is leaving the Bay.

On Sunday afternoon, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that Madison Bumgarner and the Arizona Diamondbacks were nearing a five-year, $85 million contract. The San Francisco Chronicle confirmed that Bumgarner and the Diamondbacks had reached an agreement. With the move, Bumgarner will remain in the NL West, ensuring Giants fans will see plenty of the big lefty for years to come.

Bumgarner's accomplishments in San Francisco will cement him as a franchise legend. The starting pitcher was drafted in the first round of the 2007 MLB Draft, and found himself on the big league club for the first time as a 20-year-old during September of the 2009 season. He stayed up for good after his call-up midway through the 2010 season, eventually winning the first of his three World Series rings in San Francisco.

In his 11 seasons as a Giant, Bumgarner compiled a 119-92 record and a 3.13 ERA. He made four All-Star teams, smacked 19 home runs, and earned the 2014 World Series MVP trophy.

In Arizona, Bumgarner likely slots in as the Diamondbacks' ace and opening day starter, anchoring a middling rotation. He would be under contract with Arizona until the conclusion of the 2024 season.
