Becomes official:

- By Susan Slusser

Madison Bumgarner will be introduced in Arizona on Tuesday.

Madison Bumgarner’s first official day with a majorleagu­e team other than the Giants is expected to be Tuesday.

That’s when the Arizona Diamondbac­ks will introduce Bumgarner as the newest member of their rotation, assuming he passed his physical Monday. Bumgarner, 30, agreed to a fiveyear, $85 million deal with the Giants’ NL West foe Sunday, with $15 million of the contract deferred.

It’s the secondlarg­est deal in Diamondbac­ks history, after Zack Greinke’s $206.5 million deal in 2015. Bumgarner also received a fiveteam notrade list.

The Giants will receive Arizona’s secondroun­d (competitiv­ebalance round) draft pick in June because Bumgarner declined a qualifying offer from his longtime club. The Giants, who also will get a secondroun­d pick for losing reliever Will Smith this offseason, offered Bumgarner a fouryear, $70 million deal after he declined the qualifying offer.

Bumgarner is a fourtime AllStar and the 2014 NLCS and World Series MVP. He is one of the greatest postseason starters of all time, going 83 with a 2.11 ERA. He has a lifetime ERA of 3.13 but is coming off his worst season. He was 99 for a punchless Giants team and had a 3.90 ERA, the highest of his career but still good for 18th among NL qualifiers.
