John Brebbia Avoids Arbitration FridayThe San Francisco Giants and right-hander John Brebbia avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.3 million deal on Friday. Brebbia had a fine season for the Gigantes in 2022, going 6-2 with a 3.18 ERA (3.32 FIP), 1.31 WHIP and career-low 18.8 percent strikeout rate in 68 innings over a league-high 76 appearances (11 starts). The 32-year-old was primarily used in relief and picked up 18 holds along the way. Brebbia has only two career saves in five major-league seasons, though, and outside of deep holds leagues, he won't be appealing to fantasy managers in 2023. The Giants are expected to enter next year with Camilo Doval as their primary closer.

Giants Sign Luke JacksonThe San Francisco Giants have signed right-handed relief pitcher Luke Jackson to a two-year deal, per a tweet from the team's official Twitter account. The deal is worth $11.5 million and includes a $7 million club option for 2025. The 31-year-old didn't pitch in the Majors in 2022 due to recovery from Tommy John surgery, but most recently appeared in 71 games for the Atlanta Braves during the 2021 season, logging a 1.98 ERA, a 3.66 FIP, and 70 strikeouts compared to 29 walks in 63.2 innings of work. He also added a pair of pitcher wins, and 31 holds in those 63.2 innings. As of now, San Francisco's late-inning bullpen options include Camilo Doval, John Brebbia, Tyler Rogers, and Taylor Rogers.

Taylor Rogers Heads To San FranciscoThe San Francisco Giants and free-agent left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal, pending a physical, on Friday, according to a source. Rogers will reunite with his brother Tyler in the Giants bullpen in 2023. The 32-year-old southpaw spent the 2022 season with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers, posting a career-high 4.76 ERA (3.31 FIP), a 1.18 WHIP, a career-high 31 saves and a career-high 36 percent strikeout rate in 64 1/3 relief innings. Rogers had a bit of bad luck last year and should bounce back, although he won't be guaranteed save chances in San Francisco, as Camilo Doval should enter the 2023 campaign as the team's first option to close out games. Still, Rogers should be a high-leverage reliever for the Gigantes and should have appeal in holds leagues as a setup man with strikeout upside.

Giants Land Michael Conforto On Two-Year DealThe San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year, $36 million deal with free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto on Friday. The Giants lost out on superstar shortstop Carlos Correa this week when they had some concerns about his physical -- he later signed with the New York Mets. Instead, the Giants sign the last marquee free agent on the open market. Conforto, 29, didn't play at all in 2022 after having right shoulder surgery in April, but he should be fully healthy for spring training and can provide some nice power numbers in the Giants outfield if he's healthy. The landing spot isn't ideal for a left-handed power hitter like Conforto, but he does have a career .824 OPS with 132 long balls and 396 RBI in his seven major-league seasons.

The San Francisco Giants have some interest in free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto, according to sources. The Giants suddenly have a bunch of money to give players after swinging and missing on star shortstop Carlos Correa, who signed with the New York Mets after the Giants had concerns with Correa's physical. Conforto could end up being one of those players if he's healthy as the Giants look to add some offensive pieces to the mix for 2023. Conforto, like Correa, is represented by agent Scott Boras. The 29-year-old Conforto didn't play at all in 2022 while recovering from right shoulder surgery that he had in mid-April. But he resumed hitting and throwing in November and should be ready for the 2023 season, barring any setbacks. He was an All-Star in 2017 and has a .255/.356/.468 slash line with an .824 OPS and 134 homers in seven seasons with the New York Mets, so he could be a relatively cheap power option for San Fran's outfield.

Giants Reportedly Agree On 13-Year Deal With Carlos CorreaThe San Francisco Giants reportedly agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal with free agent shortstop Carlos Correa Tuesday, per Jeff Passan. The deal would be the biggest deal ever for a shortstop and would give the 28-year-old the most lucrative deal out of the other two big free-agent shortstop signings this offseason. Correa had a solid 2022 season with the Minnesota Twins, slashing .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs and 64 RBI. While he will be moving to one of baseball's most pitcher-friendly parks, he will also be joining a lineup that will have some additions from last season while still maintaining some core pieces. The Giants have made a number of moves this offseason, so it is possible that there could be even more support joining Correa in the lineup, which would further bolster his fantasy value.

Giants, Ross Stripling Agree On Two-Year DealThe San Francisco Giants and free-agent right-hander Ross Stripling agreed on a two-year, $25 million deal on Tuesday that includes an opt-out clause after the first season, according to sources familiar with the deal. The 33-year-old was excellent for the Toronto Blue Jays last season, going 10-4 with a 3.01 ERA (3.11 FIP), a 1.02 WHIP and a 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 134 1/3 innings over 32 appearances (24 starts). The Giants have now signed left-hander Sean Manaea and Stripling in recent days, perhaps signaling that they won't be bringing back All-Star southpaw Carlos Rodon in 2023 and beyond. The New York Yankees are believed to be making a strong push to secure Rodon. Stripling will return to the National League West, where he four full seasons from 2016-19 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Sean Manaea Signing With GiantsAccording to a tweet from The New York Post's Jon Heyman on Sunday, free-agent starting pitcher Sean Manaea is reportedly joining the San Francisco Giants. Heyman tweeted the following on Sunday: "Sean Manaea to Giants. $25M, 2 years. Opt out." The veteran made 30 appearances for the San Diego Padres last season, 28 of which were starts. He logged 158 innings for manager Bob Melvin's club, pitching to a 4.96 ERA, a 4.53 FIP, 156 strikeouts and 50 walks. He'll join a Giants rotation that features the likes of Logan Webb, Alex Cobb, Alex Wood, Anthony DeSclafani and Jakob Junis.

Mike Yastrzemski Signs One-Year Contract With GiantsThe San Francisco Giants have reached a one-year deal with Mike Yastrzemski that will pay the outfielder $6.1 million dollars in the 2023 season. The 32-year-old Yastrzemski avoids arbitration with this pact and remains eligible for free agency following the 2025 season. He will look to be more productive in the upcoming campaign after a career-worst offensive output in 2022 that saw him slash .214/.305/.392 with 17 home runs in 558 plate appearances across 148 games.

Marco Luciano Added To 40-Man RosterThe San Francisco Giants added infielders Marco Luciano and Brett Wisely, right-handers Tristan Beck, Jose Cruz and Keaton Winn and outfielder Luis Matos to their 40-man roster on Tuesday. Wisely was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfielder Tristan Peters. According to MLB Pipeline, Luciano is the club's top prospect. Matos checks in at No. 3. The 21-year-old Luciano played in 57 games with High-A Eugene in 2022 and hit .263/.339/.459 with 10 home runs, 30 RBI and 27 runs scored in 230 plate appearances. He generates a lot of bat speed from the right side of the plate and should continue advancing up the Giants' minor-league ladder in 2023. Luciano is a power over hit-tool guy at the next level.
