5. Any team that claims Bumgarner takes on the contract. But who would want to?

Although Bumgarner won't pitch again for the Diamondbacks, Arizona will be responsible for the balance of his contract -- he had $37 million remaining entering the season, including $14 million next year. -- https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/madison-bumgarner-dfa-diamondbacks-designate-veteran-pitcher-for-assignment-after-brutal-2023-start/

If he clears waivers -- and he will -- then Arizona owes the balance, whatever happens.
