The Giants reportedly added a major piece to their free-agent acquisition list late Monday night with the addition of outfielder Jorge Soler.
San Francisco and Soler have agreed to a three-year contract, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser reported Monday.
Soler, 31, is coming off one of the best campaigns of his 11-year career after belting 36 home runs with a .250/.341/.512 slash line during the 2023 MLB season with the Miami Marlins.
Per Slusser, Soler’s deal is pending a physical, and while the financial terms are unknown, the annual average value is likely to be in the $12-17 million range based on recent signings.
The slugging outfielder earned World Series MVP honors with the Atlanta Braves in 2021, hitting .300 with three home runs and six RBI’s in a six-game series win over the Houston Astros.
The Giants, who needed to add some much-needed power to their lineup, have achieved just that with the reported Soler deal.
