The San Francisco Giants on Monday announced that they've re-signed right-hander Anthony DeSclafani to a three-year contract. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, the deal is worth a total of $36 million.
DeSclafani, 31, is coming off a 2021 season in which he pitched to a 3.17 ERA/129 ERA+ for the NL West-champion Giants with a career-best 3.62 K/BB ratio in 167 2/3 innings spread across 31 starts. As such, DeSclafani was a key member of the Giants' rotation behind Logan Webb, and bringing him back for 2022 and beyond was an organizational priority. Given that DeSclafani's step forward last season was underpinned by increased use of his slider, the Giants are probably betting that his 2021 gains are sustainable.
For his career, DeSclafani has a 104 ERA+ across parts of seven major-league seasons. The Giants originally acquired DeSclafani as a free agent prior to last season and inked him to a one-year, $6 million pact.
Elsewhere, Passan, building off an initial report by Robert Murray of Fansided, reports that the Giants are close to finalizing a deal that will bring back lefty Alex Wood on a two-year, $10 million contract. Wood, who turns 31 in January, registered a 3.83 ERA/107 ERA+ in 26 starts for San Francisco last season. For his career, he owns an ERA+ of 112 across nine MLB seasons.
