The SF Giants absolutely should sign the corpse of Madison Bumgarner

Be honest: Would you buy a ticket to watch Madison Bumgarner pitch for the Giants again?

If you’re at all like me, the answer is “Yes, take my money, Mr. Baer.” My lightbulb would immediately go off. An all-time Giants great, arguably the greatest postseason pitcher ever, back in a Giants uniform? Are there any 10-game packs available?

Let me be perfectly clear: Bumgarner, who was recently designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks after a dreadful few weeks, isn’t what he used to be. Judging strictly by his results, he’s not even a replacement-level player anymore.
