Madison Bumgarner, the three-time World Series champ, has caught the attention of baseball’s most storied franchise. Well, sort of.
According to Jon Heyman, Bumgarner figures to be a backup plan for the Yankees, should the club fail to land Gerrit Cole.
To this point, money has been no object to clubs in pursuit of top-of-the-rotation starters.
While Cole is rumored to be headed for a payday of better than $300 million, Bumgarner is purportedly angling for at least $100 million over five seasons. Not bad for a fallback.
