The San Francisco Giants are bringing in some outfield help this offseason.

Per Jon Heyman at the MLB Network, the Giants have agreed to a two-year deal with outfielder Harrison Bader. The terms of the deal are $20.5 million over the course of the two years, with incentives that could push it to $21 million.

 The Giants will be Bader’s seventh team since making his big league debut in 2017. He spent the first six seasons as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals before splitting time with the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, and New York Mets. In 2025, Bader signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Twins and the outfielder was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies at the deadline for two prospects.

Last season, Bader posted a .277/.347/.449 slash line between both clubs, amassing a .796 OPS with 24 doubles and a career single-season high of 17 home runs and 54 RBIs. Following the move to the NL East, Bader posted a .305/.361/.463 line down the stretch, and finished the campaign with a 3.9 bWAR – the second highest mark of his career (4.1 bWAR in 2021). Bader also collected one hit in the Phillies’ NLDS series against the Dodgers last season.

The one-time Gold Glove winner has spent the majority of his career in centre field and owns a 67 DRS across nine seasons. He posted a +7 Outs Above Average in 2025, ranking in the 92nd percentile, and his 89.4 mph arm strength ranked in the 84th percentile, as well.

With the Giants, either Bader or Jung Hoo Lee will have to move to a corner outfield spot in 2026, which makes sense given that right field is up for the taking after the club moved Mike Yastrzemski to Kansas City last summer.
