Its a no brainer move.
Wont be crazy expensive and then if the rumors of him wanting to play in ATL are true it makes an extension more likely because we can start discussions soon.
The further removed from his flukish injuries he gets the better his production will be. Dudes a stud.

Braves currently have 3 starters with a better ERA- than Madbum and just signed a 4th. Why do we need him again?
I like you thethe, but are you trolling or completely serious? I just don't understand the love affair with the dude.
Would I take it at fair price? Of course, but we, and any other team, would get bent over for the guy. He's not worth it, not even with Will Smith attached.
Ignorant people can't quite understand just how much the park in SF suppresses offense and makes Bumgarner's overall numbers look better than his true talent level.
Bumgarner's xwOBA is .332. The only member of the Braves rotation with a higher value is Folty at .343, and everyone hopes he is figuring things out.
