The Giants are adding to their outfield by signing Joc Pederson, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports.
According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the deal is for one-year and $6 million.
Pederson spent the first seven years of his career with San Francisco’s rival Dodgers, highlighted by three 20-home run seasons and a 36-home run season in 2019. After the 2020 season, Pederson signed a one-year contract with the Cubs, but was traded to the Braves at the trade deadline.
In 2021, Pederson hit .238 with 18 home runs. He featured on back-to-back World Series-winning teams in 2020 and 2021.
