The fact of the matter is, whenever the Yankees are struggling, some asshole throws a big-name vet up in the hopes to get clicks and reads and calls it a day. Like lighting a cigarette and throwing it into a dumpster. You hope it turns to fire, but as a journalist, it's not responsible, in fact... it's careless.
The latest BS is about Madison Bumgarner. There's been chatter that because the Yankees are struggling and duh, coincidence, the former Diamondbacks vet was released from their team because he was struggling... oh and by the way it's.... Madison Bumgarner... so he's got to be the perfect fit for the Yankees. You know, he needs a job, and the Yankees are desperate. OK? That's the story.

Bumgarner has been linked with multiple teams as of late, including the New York Yankees. However, it is unlikely that Bumgarner will soon take his talents to the reigning American League East champions.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post noted on Thursday that the Yankees “seem like a candidate to consider”...
"SEEMS LIKE A CANDIDATE TO CONSIDER".
Can I be honest? First off, I really doubt Bumgarner wants to come to New York. That's one, then we get into the real crux of it. This is a non-story and stupid!
This is the new world we live in. Between suggesting that things MIGHT happen, and things SEEM good and some "Unverified Source" told me (but I actually made it up), Yankee fans click and read and many dumb people believe it. And that's how readership is won these days.
Pathetic.
For the record, there is no reason the Yankees would, should or even want to go after Madison Bumgarner. I understand that lightning in a bottle does happen, but I think it would be more of an issue than not to bring on Maddy. I just don't see it.
And to all those "journalists" who like fooling the public... F off.
