The San Francisco Giants snagged the best starting pitcher still on the market, agreeing to terms with Blake Snell on a two-year, $62 million contract, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
Snell staying unsigned this long was a big surprise given he's coming off a career year. It looked like he and agent Scott Boras may have overplayed their hand and might need to follow the approach of two other Boras clients.
Outfielder Cody Bellinger and third baseman Matt Chapman both signed what in effect can be one-year deals when they failed to get suitably commensurate offers extending well into the future.
