The San Francisco Giants didn’t wait long to start making moves again on the free agency market. Less than 24 hours after MLB’s lockout was lifted, the Giants became the first team to make a big splash in free agency, agreeing to a two-year, $44 million deal with left-handed starting pitcher Carlos Rodón.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan first reported the finalized deal, after the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser first reported that something was in the works.
Rodón was one of, if not the top starting pitcher left on the market.
