Alex Cobb - Reaches deal with Giants Cobb agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact According to Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News, the deal includes a $10 million team option for 2024 with a $2 million buyout. Cobb spent 2021 with the Angels and was limited to 18 starts by a wrist injury, but he was effective when healthy with a 3.76 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 98:33 K:BB in 93.1 innings. He should slot into the middle of San Francisco's starting rotation in 2022.

Austin Slater - Inks deal with Giants Slater agreed to a one-year, $1.85 million contract with the Giants on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Slater was unable to replicate his .914 OPS from the shortened 2020 campaign, but he was still a solid piece for San Francisco with a .241/.320/.423 slash line, 12 homers and 15 stolen bases in 129 games last season. He should enter spring training with a strong chance to at least begin 2022 in a bench role.

Jarlín García - Re-signed by Giants Garcia and the Giants agreed to a one-year. $1.725 million contract Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Garcia had a strong season in 2021, appearing in 58 contests while registering a 2.62 ERA and 0.96 WHIP while striking out 68 over 68.2 innings. His 11 holds ranked third on the team and left-hander will remain a late-inning option for the Giants again in 2022.

John Brebbia - Avoids arbitration Brebbia and the Giants avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to terms on a one-year, $837,500 contract, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brebbia struggled to a 5.89 ERA in 18.1 innings of relief for the Giants last season, but his underlying numbers paint a more optimistic picture of that small sample. His 25.3 percent strikeout rate was slightly above average, while his 4.6 percent walk rate was quite strong. Still, that doesn't add up to much more than a middle reliever if things break right for the veteran righty next season.

Trevor Hildenberger - Back with Giants on MiLB pact Hildenberger re-signed Sunday with the Giants on a minor-league contract.
Impact Since submitting a 3.21 ERA over 37 appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen as a rookie in 2017, Hildenberger has found limited success at the big-league level over the subsequent four seasons. He made just two appearances in the majors with the Mets in 2021 before he was waived by the organization in May and claimed by the Giants. The 30-year-old right-hander then spent the remainder of the campaign at Triple-A Sacramento, striking out a batter per inning but posting an unremarkable 4.70 ERA and 1.35 WHIP.

Alex Wood - Remains a Giant Wood and the Giants agreed to a two-year deal worth over $10 million per season Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Woods' deal came mere minutes after the Giants locked up Anthony DeSclafani for three more years, as the team is clearly interested in keeping its recent success stories in the fold. Injuries limited Wood to just 48.1 innings over the previous two years, but he was able to make 26 starts in 2021, cruising to a 3.83 ERA. He got to that number via a career-high 26.0 percent strikeout rate and a 50.8 percent groundball rate. Toss in his 6.7 percent walk rate and you get a uniquely well-rounded pitcher. Among pitchers who threw at least 100 innings, only teammate Logan Webb matched or beat Wood in all three rate stats. That bodes well for the veteran lefty moving forward as long as he can stay healthy.
