MLB fans react to Giants postseason legend Madison Bumgarner being DFA'd by the Diamondbacks: "Hardest fall off in history"

The Arizona Diamondbacks have given up on former San Francisco Giants All-Star Madison Bumgarner. They've designated him for assignment, which means they don't care where he goes next as long as he's not a part of the Diamondbacks.

Following a steady career with the Giants, one in which he became an absolute postseason legend, Bumgarner joined the Diamondbacks. But he was never able to recapture the magic and now finds himself out of a job.

The pitcher recently had an incident with St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras. Contreras let out a cry when he missed a pitch after taking a big swing at an up and in delivery from the pitcher.

Bumgarner didn't appreciate that, telling the catcher to "shut the f*** up" and calling him a "p***y" from the mound. That will be one of the last things he's done as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Arizona fans were quick to react to the news:

The veteran pitcher isn't totally out of gas, so another team will likely pick him up and use him to eat innings. The Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and New York Mets could use him in place of injured starters for now.

How long was Madison Bumgarner on the Diamondbacks?

Madison Bumgarner is no longer a Diamondback

Bumgarner was a legend with the Giants and turned that into a nice deal to join the Diamondbacks.

His first season with Arizona was in 2020 and stayed there through the 2023 season, though not to completion. He spent a little over three full seasons in the desert.
