Free-agent pitcher Jordan Hicks has reached an agreement with the San Francisco Giants on a four-year contract worth $44 million. Although the deal is still pending a physical examination and has not been officially announced by the team, a person with inside information confirmed the details to The Associated Press.
Hicks, known for his powerful arm, has primarily served as a relief pitcher throughout his five-year career in the major leagues, amassing 32 saves. However, in the 2022 season, he made eight starts for the St. Louis Cardinals, demonstrating his versatility on the field. The Giants have plans to utilize Hicks in their rotation rather than solely relying on him out of the bullpen.
