Anthony DeSclafani, San Francisco Giants agree to three-year, $36M contract, sources say

Right-hander Anthony DeSclafani and the San Francisco Giants agreed on a three-year, $36 million contract, locking up the 31-year-old long-term after he thrived during a one-year showcase with the team, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN.

The Giants, who led baseball with 107 wins last season, are aggressively moving to rebuild their rotation. Another pitcher the team is pursuing is right-hander Alex Cobb, a source told ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.

DeSclafani turned in the best season of his career in 2021 after signing with the Giants for $6 million, going 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA over 167.2 innings. Primarily a fastball-slider pitcher, DeSclafani’s premium control and the Giants’ excellent defense paired well as he tied a career high with 31 starts.
