Part 6/8:

As if the pitching woes weren't enough, the Diamondbacks swung for the fences yet again with Madison Bumgarner, adding yet another substantial contract to the portfolio. The five-year, $85 million deal began with lofty expectations reminiscent of earlier signings, yet Bumgarner's struggles have led to a disappointing continued decline, compounded by his outright refusal to adapt to new strategies presented by the coaching staff.

The seasons following this, particularly 2021 and 2022, further compounded frustration, with the team finding itself in precarious circumstances that called into question their scouting, evaluation processes, and decision-making behind free agency.
