Atlanta Braves: the case for and against Madison Bumgarner

Following up on a second straight NL East title, fans are expecting at least a few big moves from the Atlanta Braves this off-season.

With Josh Donaldson’s exit to free agency and the Braves buyout of Teheran’s contract, the Braves have some big holes to fill. Rumors are already swirling around Giants’ legend, Madison Bumgarner.

The Braves were connected to Bumgarner prior to last season’s trade deadline. The big lefty is originally from North Carolina and grew up rooting for the Braves. Bumgarner spent his formative years tomahawk-chopping and presumably screaming through the television at Barry Bonds for flipping his bat and staring at yet another walk-off home run against the Braves.
