Giants Secure Jorge Soler with $42 Million Deal

The signing aims to bolster San Francisco's lineup with much-needed power, marking a significant move for the team's offensive strategy.

The San Francisco Giants have signed Jorge Soler to a three-year, $42 million contract, adding significant power to their lineup.
Soler, a former World Series MVP, hit 36 home runs in 2023, showcasing his ability to provide a much-needed offensive boost.
The Giants have struggled with power hitting, having not had a player hit 30 home runs in a season since Barry Bonds in 2004.
Soler's addition is part of the Giants' efforts to compete for a wild card spot in the NL, alongside other key signings like Jung Hoo Lee.
Despite concerns about his defense, Soler is expected to primarily serve as the Giants' designated hitter, enhancing their right-handed power against left-handed pitching.
