A few days after the Shohei Ohtani cork was popped out of the bottle, the Giants signed their biggest free agent contract since Johnny Cueto, inking center fielder Jung-hoo Lee to a six-year deal.
The NY Post’s Jon Heyman first reported the deal, noting that it’s a $113 million deal with an opt-out after the fourth year. It’s unclear if that $113 million includes the posting fee, as Lee is coming over from the KBO, and it’s not known if the annual payments are even over the course of those six seasons.
