Starter Tyler Mahle, Giants reportedly agree to one-year MLB free-agent contract

The Giants are adding additional arms to the starting rotation.
San Francisco agreed to a one-year free-agent contract with right-handed starting pitcher Tyler Mahle, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reported Wednesday, citing a source, after the San Francisco Chronicle’s Shayna Rubin was first to report that the two sides were nearing an agreement.
Mahle, 31, posted a 6-4 record with 66 strikeouts, 29 walks and a 2.18 ERA in 86 2/3 innings pitched for the Texas Rangers last season.
A seventh-round pick by the Reds in 2013, Mahle debuted with Cincinnati in 2017, and spent five-plus seasons with the team before the Reds traded him to the Minnesota Twins ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline.
Mahle spent an additional season with Minnesota before signing a two-year, $22 million contract with the Texas Rangers in Dec. 2023.
After a strong 2025 season with Texas, Mahle now appears close to joining a Giants starting rotation that needed multiple arms at the start of the offseason, and already has added veteran Adrian Houser.

Warriors reportedly are ‘staunchly' against trading Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler
Warriors reportedly are ‘staunchly' against trading Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Warriors’ path to acquiring a superstar player before the NBA’s Feb. 5 trade deadline appears slim.
Golden State, if it wanted to acquire a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Anthony Davis, for example, would need to match salaries in a potential blockbuster trade due to the league’s salary cap rules for second-apron teams.
Young forward Jonathan Kuminga is one obvious piece to a potential deal, but his contract ($23.4 million this season) still is much smaller than what the biggest names that could be on the trade market are making, like Antetokounmpo ($54.1M) and Davis ($54.1M), which means Golden State likely would have to include one of its other veteran players, like forwards Draymond Green ($25.89M) or Jimmy Butler ($54.1M), to make the money work.
However, the Warriors reportedly are “staunchly” against the notion of including either Green or Butler in a potential trade, The Athletic’s Sam Amick reported in a story published Wednesday, citing team sources.
Golden State’s brass, from coach Steve Kerr to general manager Mike Dunleavy, repeatedly have expressed confidence in the team’s veteran core of Butler, Green and Steph Curry, so any seismic deal that breaks that trio up, in addition to the financial complications a potential trade might present, seems unlikely.
However, things certainly can change between now and Feb. 5, and if the Warriors end up sliding further down the Western Conference standings, Dunleavy and Co. might be inclined to really shake things up in order to give Curry a chance at winning a fifth championship.
