Bumgarner was never going to an AL team. He wants to take at bats.ryu or bust for the angels
did not expect him to go to arizona
I know he's not the guy he was in 2012-2015 but he's much better than Ryu and Keuchel.I did not want the Angels to sign Bumgarner so I’m ok with this. If we miss out on both Ryu and Keuchel, then I’ll start to worry.

Bumgarner had an ERA over 5 on the road last season, and has been trending the wrong way for awhile. Ryu and Keuchel won’t have the same term commitments, and Keuchel being a ground ball pitcher, is a very good fit with our great infield defensebumgarner is better than both those guys
Plus Bumgarner has a draft pick attached to him while the others do notBumgarner had an ERA over 5 on the road last season, and has been trending the wrong way for awhile.

Hopefully the giants will now stop trying to chase there even year magic days and move one from the rest of their remaining core. I don't think poesy is that valuable as a first basemen though for the giants or as a trade asset.So apparently the fact that he owns a couple horses in the Phoenix area won him over. I.E it was D-Backs or bust as long as the offer was good enough. I love that guy.
Just imagine the money he would have made had he been a free agent after that insane 2014 run.

Still not sure why the non-tendered Pillar. Yeah, he doesn't get on base, but everyone knew that before the trade. He covers a ton of ground on that field.
