Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Giants are signing left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers to a three-year, $33 million contract.​

Rogers Brothers unite! Of course, Tyler Rogers has been a bullpen mainstay for the Giants over the past four seasons, but now he'll be joined by his twin brother. Taylor had a rough year between the Padres and Brewers in 2022, posting a 4.76 ERA in 66 appearances, though his peripherals were solid and he still missed plenty of bats. Home runs were the biggest issue, so he should be a solid contributor in the late innings if he can get back to keeping the ball on the ground more often.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Giants have agreed to a two-year, $36 million deal with free agent outfielder Michael Conforto.​

Per Buster Olney of ESPN, the agreement includes an opt-out after the first year. It's an interesting deal for multiple reasons, including the fact that Conforto is represented by Scott Boras, who is also Carlos Correa's agent. However, the two sides were able to put any sort of frustrations aside in order to get a deal done. Conforto, who turns 30 in March, didn't play at all in 2022 due to a shoulder injury which required surgery in April. Apparently that's not enough to scare off the Giants in this instance. Still, it's easy to see the potential upside with a player who who owns an .824 OPS (124 OPS+) for his career. With the marquee names off the board in free agency, the Giants are doing what they can to bolster their lineup.

So to my other post, so now the Mariners are betting the 2023 season on Reynolds or O’Neill in a trade.
