Twins Showing Interest In Madison Bumgarner
5 years agoThe Minnesota Twins are showing strong interest in San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. The Twins are not on Bumgarner's no-trade list. MadBum is no longer the elite fantasy ace that he once was, but he can still be effective in the right matchups and he'd see a sizeable fantasy boost if he were dealt to the first-place Twins. The 29-year-old lefty is coming off an 11-strikeout performance against the Rockies. He's 4-7 on the season with a 4.21 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 104 strikeouts in 102 2/3 innings over his 17 starts. Both Bumgarner and closer Will Smith will be highly coveted by contending team's before next month's trade deadline.
