The San Francisco Giants are in the market for a new starting pitcher to pair with Logan Webb, Landen Roupp, and Robbie Ray. Justin Verlander is likely signing elsewhere, leaving potentially two holes in the rotation.<\/p>\n

While the Giants aren’t likely to sign a top name like Tatsuya Imai, Framber Valdez, or Ranger Suarez, they have been linked to a few of the smaller and cheaper names on the market.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Giants are signing a former Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher to a two-year, $22 million deal. Adrian Houser, after being acquired by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2025, is now coming to San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Giants to sign Adrian Houser to $22 million two-year deal<\/h2>\n

“Right-hander Adrian Houser and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a two-year, $22 million contract with a club option for a third year.” Passan reports.<\/p>\n

San Francisco has been searching for pitching help this winter, and their additions of Jason Foley and Houser on December 16th are two moves to bolster the overall pitching staff.<\/p>\n

Houser is coming off an odd 2025 season. He spent 11 starts with the White Sox, where he had a 2.10 ERA and 3.0 bWAR. But, after getting traded to the Rays, he recorded a. 4.79 ERA in 10 starts with 0.3 bWAR.<\/p>\n

Houser is a 32-year-old veteran who will be 33 at the start of the 2026 season. He’s been in the Majors for a long time, making his initial MLB debut all the way back in 2015. But he first secured a consistent role in 2019 and has been a decent pitcher since.<\/p>\n

His best season came in 2025, even with his rough Rays stint. Between the two teams, Houser had 21 starts with a 3.31 ERA and an 8-5 record worth 3.3 bWAR.<\/p>\n

He might not have been the best starting pitcher available in free agency, but the promise he showed in 2025 is enough that the Giants $22 million investment, while not cheap, could be well worth it.<\/p>\n
