Blake Snell, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, has found a new home with the San Francisco Giants. The left-handed pitcher agreed to a lucrative two-year, $62 million deal with the Giants, including an opt-out clause after the 2024 season.
Snell had an exceptional season with the San Diego Padres, leading the NL in various categories such as ERA (2.25), hits per nine innings (5.8), and WAR (6.0). His performance earned him his second Cy Young Award, having previously won it in 2018 with the Tampa Bay Rays. Snell recorded 234 strikeouts in 180 innings, ranking second in both strikeouts and strikeout rate among qualified starters.
