SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The San Francisco Giants and left-hander Blake Snell have finalized their $62 million, two-year contract ahead of the two-time Cy Young Award winner being introduced at a news conference on Wednesday. Snell gets a $17 million signing bonus payable on Jan. 15, 2026, and a $15 million salary this year. The 30-year-old Snell is 71-55 with a 3.20 ERA in 191 starts over eight major league seasons, winning Cy Youngs in 2018 with Tampa Bay and last year with San Diego. The addition of Snell is another big move for a San Francisco team that gave South Korean outfielder Jung Hoo Lee a $113 million, six-year contract, signed Hicks to a $44 million, four-year deal and outfielder Jorge Soler to a $42 million, three-year contract, and then gave third baseman Matt Chapman a $54 million, three-year deal.
