Giants, Ross Stripling Agree On Two-Year Deal
The 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.
