Joc Pederson, SF Giants Have Discussed Contract Extension, Says Farhan Zaidi

Joc Pederson could be headed toward a contract extension with the San Francisco Giants after he outplayed his one-year deal signed last offseason.

"We'd love to have him back next year," Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said on KNBR’s Tolbert & Copes (h/t Steve Adams of MLBTradeRumors). "We've talked some to his representative. I've talked to Joc about it himself. He's from here. He's played well. He was an All-Star for us."

Pederson was a late signing for San Francisco, agreeing to a $6 million deal after an up-and-down 2021 with the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves.
