Former Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle signed with the San Francisco Giants earlier this week, and will now be pitching for his third team in four years. The Reds traded Mahle to the Minnesota Twins in 2022, and after an injury-plagued 2023 season, he joined the Texas Rangers on a two-year deal. Mahle put up good numbers in 2025, but injuries were a concern once again.
Mahle's agreement with the Giants is for just one season, but according to New York Post columnist Jon Heyman, the deal is worth $10 million. Kiley McDaniel of ESPN revealed that if Mahle hits certain performance-based bonuses in 2026, the deal could be worth close to $13 million.
