Tyler Rogers - Settles at $1.675 million Rogers signed a one-year, $1.675 million contract with the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact While not nearly as effective as he was in 2021, Rogers still had a 3.57 ERA over 68 appearances in 2022. In 2023 he'll be a teammate of his twin brother, Taylor Rogers, who signed with the Giants last month.

Thairo Estrada - Inks one-year deal Estrada signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract from the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Estrada gets a big raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility as a Super Two qualifier. The 26-year-old played a bigger-than-expected role for the Giants in 2022, finishing with a .722 OPS, 14 home runs and 21 stolen bases. He's the favorite to be the team's Opening Day second baseman.

LaMonte Wade Jr. - Avoids arbitration Wade signed a one-year, $1.375 million contract with the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Wade took a major step back in 2022, putting up a .665 OPS while being limited to just 77 games due to knee issues. If healthy, the 29-year-old should bounce back to a certain degree in 2023 while playing a variety of positions.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

J.D. Davis - Inks one-year deal Davis signed a one-year, $4.21 million contract with the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, source reports.

Impact Davis started slow for the Mets last season, but was able to slash .263/.361/.496 with the Giants after being traded at the deadline. It's unclear how exactly Davis will fit in the Giants' lineup in 2023, whether it's at third base or as the designated hitter, but he still figures to get his fair share of at-bats next season.

Austin Slater - Avoids arbitration Slater agreed to a one-year, $3.2 million contract with the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Slater had a career-high 325 plate appearances last year and posted a .264/.366/.408 slash line with seven home runs and 12 steals. The 30-year-old has carved out a role against left-handed pitching in San Francisco over the past few years and is likely to be used similarly in 2023.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jakob Junis - Settles with Giants at $2.8 million Junis signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Giants on Friday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Junis put up a 4.42 ERA and 98:25 K:BB over 112 innings for the Giants in 2022 while serving as a traditional starter and bulk reliever. The 30-year-old would appear to be slated for a relief role in 2023, at least to open the season.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

John Brebbia - Settles on deal with Giants Brebbia settled on a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the Giants on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Brebbia will now avoid the arbitration process after striking a deal with the Giants to return in 2023. The reliever compiled a serviceable 3.18 ERA and 1.31 WHIP while striking out 54 batters and earning 18 holds over 68 innings in 76 appearances, including 11 starts, with San Francisco in 2022. Brebbia will likely operate in a setup role once again this season, operating ahead of closer Camilo Doval.
