Giants Reach One-Year Deal With RHP Tyler Mahle

The short-term move boosts back-end rotation depth following a 2.18‑ERA rebound season despite recent shoulder and elbow injuries.

Overview

  • Mahle’s agreement is for one year and is guaranteed at $10 million, according to MLB Trade Rumors, with the team yet to formally announce it.
  • The 31-year-old posted a 2.18 ERA over 86 2/3 innings in 16 starts for the Rangers in 2025, performing well around an extended injured-list stint.
  • He missed more than three months last season with right shoulder fatigue and previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023, totaling 24 starts over the past three years.
  • He is expected to slot behind Logan Webb and Robbie Ray, providing rotation depth as San Francisco evaluates internal options for additional innings.
  • Because Texas did not extend a qualifying offer, there is no draft-pick compensation tied to signing Mahle, and the move follows December additions of starter Adrian Houser and reliever Jason Foley.
