While it’s unclear what Blake Snell has planned after this season, his deal with the San Francisco Giants gives him some safety.
Snell is on the 15-day injured list but he’s expected to miss more time than that. This is an injury he’s had before and told reporters that, in the past, he’s needed three or four turns through the rotation to recover.
Snell was one of four Scott Boras clients who were expected to break the bank this offseason. Two ended up with the Giants — third baseman Matt Champan was the other. But none of them — Chicago Cubs slugger Cody Bellinger and Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery included — got the deals they were looking for. In fact, most had to wait until after spring training to get a deal.
Many expected the 31-year-old Snell to do the same after this season. But this injury may derail that desire.Snell signed a two-year, $62 million deal with the Giants. For this season he’ll earn $15 million, with the Giants deferring $17 million as a signing bonus payable in 2026.
