SF Giants reportedly make another late splash, add two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With less than two weeks until Opening Day, the Giants reportedly made one of their biggest additions of the offseason Monday evening. Blake Snell, the reigning National League Cy Young winner, will reunite with manager Bob Melvin and shore up San Francisco’s depleted starting rotation, according to multiple reports. The deal, first reported by the New York Post’s Jon Heyman, is for a reported two years and $62 million and includes the ability to opt out after this season. Pending a physical, the deal has not been officially announced by the team. Snell, however, appeared to offer his own confirmation with a photo posted to his personal Instagram of him edited into the Giants’ home uniform, captioned with two orange and black heart emojis. Snell, 31, joins third baseman Matt Chapman as exclamation points on the Giants’ offseason, bringing their total commitments made this winter north of $300 million, second only to the Dodgers. Like Chapman, Snell is a client of superagent Scott Boras who didn’t receive the nine-figure deal he was originally seeking. Related Articles San Francisco Giants | SF Giants
