The San Francisco Giants wasted no time hitting the free-agent market, reportedly coming to terms Friday afternoon with one of the top remaining starting pitchers to round out their rotation.
Left-hander Carlos Rodón agreed to a two-year deal worth $44 million, according to multiple reports, first from ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The Chronicle’s Susan Slusser first reported the precise terms of the deal: Rodón will earn $21.5 million this year and $22.5 million in 2023.
The 29-year-old southpaw was drafted third overall by the White Sox in 2014 and finished his tenure with them last year by compiling the best season of his career, including his first All-Star nod. He fills the final spot in a rotation headlined by homegrown ace Logan Webb and three other veterans signed or re-signed earlier this offseason.
