Giants sign Ross Stripling to two-year, $25 million deal, per report

The San Francisco Giants have added another starting pitcher. Two days after signing Sean Manaea, the Giants have agreed to a two-year contract worth $25 million with right-hander Ross Stripling, reports ESPN. The team has not yet confirmed the signing.

Stripling, 33, has spent most of his career as a very successful swingman. He made 24 starts and eight relief appearances for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022, throwing 134 1/3 innings with a 3.01 ERA. Stripling set new career bests in starts, innings, and ERA, among other things. He really propped up a Toronto rotation that didn’t get enough from José Berríos or Yusei Kikuchi.
