The San Francisco Giants on Friday acquired former Cy Young winner Robbie Ray from the Seattle Mariners for outfielder Mitch Haniger and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, a swap of veterans that could portend more moves.
Ray, 32, is owed $73 million over the final three seasons of his contract and is coming off Tommy John surgery. He is expected to return sometime after the All-Star break.
His contract contains an opt-out after the 2024 season, when he is scheduled to be paid $23 million. Haniger, 33, spent five seasons with the Mariners before signing a three-year, $43.5 million free agent deal with the Giants last winter.
He is due $17 million this season, after which he has an opt-out, and $15.5 million in 2025. DeSclafani, 33, is in the final season of a three-year, $36 million deal and is owed $12 million in 2024.
