Yastrzemski’s deal is worth $9.25 million, a source told MLB.com senior national reporter Mark Feinsand, slotting the veteran into one of the Giants’ three starting outfield spots. Warren had a 1.69 ERA over 10 2/3 innings in six relief appearances this year. San Francisco cut two of its pre-arbitration players in Small and Teng, both of whom are now free agents. Read more >>

Nov. 19: RHPs , selected to 40-man roster; RHP designated for assignment
The Giants added Seymour and Ragsdale to their 40-man roster on Tuesday to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft next month. Seymour, who is ranked San Francisco’s No. 23 prospect per MLB Pipeline, recorded a 4.82 ERA over 29 appearances (28 starts) at Triple-A Sacramento in 2024. Ragdale, 26, struggled with injuries earlier in his career, but he managed to stay healthy and perform this year, posting a 4.18 ERA over 27 appearances (26 starts) between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento.

The Giants cleared a 40-man spot by cutting Teng, who recorded a 9.82 ERA over four Major League appearances in 2024.

Nov. 2: LHP declines opt-out clause; INF exercises 2025 player option
Ray will remain in the Giants’ rotation after declining to opt out of the two years and $50 million remaining on the five-year, $115 million deal he signed with the Mariners following his 2021 American League Cy Young campaign. Flores also exercised his $3.5 million player option for 2025, giving him a chance to return for a sixth season in San Francisco. More >>

Nov. 1: LHP exercises opt-out clause
As expected, Snell opted out of his contract with the Giants to become a free agent. It is the second straight offseason he is hitting the open market after he signed a two-year, $62 million deal with San Francisco in March. More >>

Nov. 1: INF outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento
Walton was removed from the Giants' 40-man roster after clearing waivers on Friday. The 30-year-old infielder appeared in nine games for San Francisco in 2024, going 3-for-22 (.136) with one home run.

Oct. 31: OF , 1B/OF and C elect free agency
Conforto, 31, batted .237/.309/.450 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs this year, though he seems unlikely to return for a third season in San Francisco since the Giants already have several other outfielders, including Mike Yastrzemski, Heliot Ramos, Jung Hoo Lee, Grant McCray and Luis Matos, under team control for 2025.

Canha, 35, hit .288/.376/.329 over 32 games after coming over from the Tigers at the Trade Deadline. The 10-year veteran ended the season on the injured list with a right thumb sprain, but he didn't expect the injury to affect his offseason and said he plans to continue playing next year. Casali, 35, batted .194/.293/.250 with one homer over 41 games after reuniting with the Giants on a one-year deal in May. The Giants currently have Tom Murphy slated to serve as Patrick Bailey's backup next year, making Casali's future in San Francisco unclear.

INJURY UPDATES

C (left knee sprain)
Expected return: 2025
Murphy suffered a season-ending knee injury after going down to try to block a wild pitch in the second inning of the Giants' 14-3 loss to the Phillies on May 4. An MRI exam revealed a Grade 1-2 sprain. He visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on July 25 after experiencing inflammation behind his knee and in his hamstring. Murphy received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left knee on July 30.

Signed to a two-year, $8.25 million deal in December, Murphy hit .118 with one home run over 13 games with the Giants in 2024. (Last updated: Sept. 10)

INF (right knee tendinitis)
Expected return: 2025
Flores traveled to Los Angeles to undergo a season-ending Tenex procedure on his right knee with Dr. Steve Yoon on Aug. 6. He was placed on the injured list on July 25 (retroactive to July 24) after last appearing as a pinch-hitter on July 23 against the Dodgers. He had returned from the same injury on July 9. (Last updated: Aug. 17)

RHP (right elbow surgery)
Expected return: 2025
Winn underwent season-ending right elbow surgery in Los Angeles on July 29. Dr. Steven Shin performed an ulnar nerve transposition, which takes pressure off the nerve by moving it from the back of the elbow to the front. The procedure is expected to have a two-month recovery process, which should allow him to be ready to go by Spring Training 2025.

Winn last pitched for the Giants on June 20, when he gave up five runs over 2 2/3 innings against the Cardinals at Rickwood Field. The 26-year-old rookie ended up logging a 7.16 ERA over 12 starts in an injury-marred campaign for San Francisco. (Last updated: Aug. 5)

CF (left shoulder dislocation)
Expected return: 2025
Lee suffered a season-ending torn labrum in his left shoulder crashing into the center-field fence on May 12 and had surgery on June 4. The club considered the procedure a success and said the typical timeline for recovery is six months. (Last updated: June 4)
