Outfielder Harrison Bader has reached an agreement on a two-year, $20.5 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, pending a physical. The deal aims to bolster the team's struggling outfield defense from the 2025 season. Bader, a Gold Glove winner, joins after a strong performance split between the Twins and Phillies last year.
The San Francisco Giants have agreed to a one-year, $12 million contract with three-time batting champion Luis Arraez, pending a physical. The 28-year-old infielder is expected to bolster the team's second base position after a season of underwhelming performance there. Arraez brings elite contact skills but faces questions about his defense.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee was temporarily detained by Customs and Border Protection agents at Los Angeles International Airport on January 21, 2026, after forgetting his travel documents in South Korea. The issue was quickly resolved, allowing him to continue his journey for an upcoming team fan event. Officials confirmed the detention was not political and involved no contraband.
The San Francisco Giants may consider trading their top prospect Bryce Eldridge this winter following his underwhelming debut in Major League Baseball. Eldridge, a 21-year-old slugger, appeared in 10 games during the 2025 season, batting just 3-for-28 with 13 strikeouts. Analyst Joel Reuter suggests a potential deal if the team prioritizes Rafael Devers at first base.

The San Francisco Giants are among teams pursuing Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai, who was recently posted by the Saitama Seibu Lions of NPB. Imai impressed with a 1.92 ERA over 163 innings last season and could slot in as a No. 3 starter for the Giants' rotation. MLB Network's Jon Morosi called Imai the 'perfect player' for San Francisco.
