SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Free agent infielder Luis Arraez and the San Francisco Giants have agreed to a $12 million, one-year contract, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.
The person spoke to The on condition of anonymity Saturday night because the deal was subject to a successful physical and had not been announced.
A three-time batting champion, Arraez led the National League in hits the past two seasons and is expected to be San Francisco's second baseman for new manager Tony Vitello.
The 28-year-old Arraez, a left-handed hitter, batted .292 with eight home runs, 61 RBIs, 181 hits and 11 stolen bases for the San Diego Padres last year. The three-time All-Star spent his first five major league seasons with the Minnesota Twins before they traded him to the Miami Marlins in January 2023. San Diego acquired him in May 2024.
Earlier in the week, the Giants added center fielder Harrison Bader on a $20.5 million, two-year contract — meaning Jung Hoo Lee will now play right field.
San Francisco has missed the playoffs in each of the past four years since winning the NL West with a franchise-record 107 victories in 2021.
