Giants ink Tyler Mahle to one-year deal

"Mahle, 31, has spent the past two seasons with the Texas Rangers. In 2025, the right-handed pitcher finished the year with a 2.18 ERA and 3.37 FIP in 86.2 innings pitched, with a 19.1 K% and an 8.4 BB%. However, Mahle hasn't hit the 100 innings pitched mark since 2022, as he spent 2023 and 2024 recovering from Tommy John Surgery."

"When healthy, Mahle is an effective starter. In 2021 with the Cincinnati Reds, he had a 3.76 ERA and 3.80 FIP in 180 innings pitched, along with a 27.7 K% and 8.4 BB%, by far the best season of his career. Drafted in the seventh round of the 2013 by the Reds, Mahle has pitched for the Ohioan team, the Minnesota Twins, and Rangers in his nine-season career."

"This isn't the first starter that the Giants have signed this off-season, having come to terms with Adrian Houser this month. This off-season, they're looking to replace the departing Justin Verlander, who remains a free agent. Unlike the relief market, there are still a handful of notable starting pitchers remaining on the market. Framber Valdez, Ranger Suárez, Tatsuya Imai, and Zac Gallen all still haven't signed."

The San Francisco Giants signed right-handed starter Tyler Mahle to a one-year deal. Mahle spent the past two seasons with the Texas Rangers and posted a 2.18 ERA and 3.37 FIP in 86.2 innings in 2025, but has not reached 100 innings since 2022 while recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2023–24. Mahle's best season came in 2021 with the Cincinnati Reds (3.76 ERA, 3.80 FIP, 180 innings). Career totals include a 4.07 ERA and 4.16 FIP in 735 innings. The Giants previously signed Adrian Houser and still face an active starting-pitcher and position-player market.
