Overview
- Multiple outlets report the agreement, first indicated by the San Francisco Chronicle’s Shayna Rubin and confirmed by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, with the club not yet announcing it.
- Mahle, 31, posted a 2.18 ERA over 86 2/3 innings in 16 starts for the Rangers in 2025, missing more than three months with a right shoulder strain after a prior Tommy John surgery.
- He was not extended a qualifying offer by Texas, so the signing carries no draft-pick compensation for San Francisco.
- He is expected to join a rotation led by Logan Webb and Robbie Ray, with Landen Roupp in the mix, after the Giants also added Adrian Houser on a two-year deal.
- Across nine MLB seasons, Mahle owns a 4.07 career ERA and has delivered a 3.61 ERA (121 ERA+) since 2020, offering upside when healthy but with clear durability concerns that align with the Giants’ short-term, low-risk approach.
