News about Madison Bumgarner

The move moves the 33-year-old Bumgarner off the team's 40-man roster and leaves Arizona seven days to trade the 2014 World Series MVP or otherwise place him on outright waivers. In a 5-14 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday, Bumgarner lost his temper with Cardinals star Willson Contreras at-bat, convincing him to'shut the f*** up' while then calling him a 'p****.' In 69 starts, the left-handed pitcher has gone 15-32 with a 5.23 ERA and is having his worst season with Arizona. He was a postseason hero for San Francisco and was a great deal.

Contreras, 30, was initially chastised with the score tied 3-3 at the third inning, and the Diamondbacks pitcher was furious for fouling off a pitch. 'Shut the f*** up,' Bumgarner said on the game's broadcast, before insulting Contreras by calling him a 'p***.' The 30-year-old catcher finished his tirade by saying, 'F*** you'.' Contreras then squared up to Arizona catcher Iván Herrera, reportedly telling him of his disapproval of Bumgarner's words by pointing to the 2014 World Series MVP.
