Hernandez, Strickland, d'Arnaud become FAs
SAN FRANCISCO -- Demonstrating that Farhan Zaidi, the Giants' new president of baseball operations, won't stand for the status quo, the club announced Friday that it had declined to offer 2019 contracts to outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and right-hander Hunter Strickland.
Hernandez and Strickland became free agents.
The Giants also announced that second baseman Joe Panik and right-hander Sam Dyson signed one-year contracts. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network and FanRag Sports Network, Panik and Dyson signed for $3.8 million and $5 million, respectively.
Left-hander Will Smith was tendered a contract and is thus considered signed for 2019.
