The San Francisco Giants are coming off of a disappointing season and now could see their ace leave in free agency after he opted out.
Now three years removed from a 107-win campaign, the sentiment becomes more and more prevalent that it was a fluke and the team's ability is much closer to what they have shown us in the years since.
San Francisco signed Snell to a two-year, $62 million deal, which included a player option for the 2025 season, the one little detail that has turned everything on its head. Saying that Snell walks too many guys may be an understatement, as even during his 2023 Cy Young campaign, the lefty walked 99 batters, the most in Major League Baseball.
Missing bats is Snell's calling card though, and the pitcher has done so with ease for many years now, carrying a 32.1 percent strikeout rate from the beginning of the 2018 season through this year, and has never seen that rate fall below 30 percent in that time.
