Luis Arraez, the three-time batting champion, has signed a $12 million, one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants. This move comes after Arraez led the National League in hits for the past two seasons, showcasing his exceptional batting skills. The 28-year-old infielder is expected to be a key player for the Giants, with new manager Tony Vitello relying on his expertise. Arraez, a left-handed hitter, previously played for the San Diego Padres, where he batted .292 with eight home runs, 61 RBIs, 181 hits, and 11 stolen bases. His impressive performance caught the attention of the Giants, who acquired him in May 2024. To make room for Arraez, the Giants placed right-hander Randy Rodríguez on the 60-day injured list. This contract marks a significant step in Arraez's career, as he transitions from the Minnesota Twins to the Miami Marlins and now the Giants, solidifying his status as one of the top infielders in the league.
