The Giants have put together a nice enough offseason so far. The signing of shortstop Willy Adames (seven-year, $182 million contract) and the addition of 42-year-old Justin Verlander (one-year, $15 million) are nice, solid pickups.

The San Francisco Giants have been aggressive in free agency this offseason as many hoped they would be. Of course losing out on Corbin Burnes to their division rival Arizona Diamondbacks was a disappointment.

Verlander was way better than his numbers with the Astros in 2024, and there's almost no such thing as a risky one-year deal. Look for him to pad his Hall of Fame resume.

Justin Verlander and the San Francisco Giants have agreed to a $15 million, one-year contract, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations.

Verlander's velocity was down in 2024. But that doesn't tell the whole story behind his struggles or what to expect from him in 2025.
