Left-hander Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has exercised his right to opt out of his contract with the San Francisco Giants to become a free agent.
'I'm never going to stop': Inside Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers' march to a title that solidified their dominant eraThe two-time Cy Young Award winner agreed in March to a $62 million, two-year contract that included a $17 million signing bonus payable on Jan. 15, 2026, a $15 million salary for 2024 and a $30 million salary for 2025, of which $15 million would have been deferred and payable on July 1, 2027.Snell, 31, was 5-3 with a 3.
He was sidelined between April 19 and May 22 by a strained left adductor and between June 2 and July 9 by a strained left groin. Snell won Cy Young Awards in 2018 with Tampa Bay and 2023 with San Diego. He is 76-58 with a 3.19 ERA in nine seasons with the Rays , Padres and Giants. Because Snell turned down a qualifying offer from San Diego last November, San Francisco is not eligible to make him a qualifying offer this offseason and won't receive draft-pick compensation if he signs with another team.
