SF Giants To Sign Cy Young Winner Blake Snell, Capping Epic Offseason

Blake Snell will be wearing orange and black in 2024. The San Francisco Giants and Blake Snell have agreed to a two-year, $62 million deal with an opt out after the 2024 season, according to multiple reports. The Giants now have the reigning Cy Young Award winner in Snell atop their rotation, followed by last year's runner-up, Logan Webb.

The Giants have been linked to Snell all offseason, and a deal finally came together tonight. Blake Snell's two-year guarantee is far lower than anyone would have predicted when the offseason began, and the SF Giants are the beneficiaries of patience. The Giants also signed Platinum Glover Matt Chapman to a somewhat similar deal just a couple of weeks ago. 

Since the start of the 2022 season, among all pitchers with at least 300 innings pitched, Blake Snell is second in ERA and second in strikeout percentage. He also has the highest walk rate in the major leagues over that span, but the Giants will live with the walks if it comes with elite run prevention. 

In totality, the San Francisco Giants have had a monster offseason capped off with the signing of Snell. More details on the Giants' offseason and signing of Snell on tomorrow's full-length edition of the Locked On Giants podcast.
