The Giants have just $5.146 million in bonus pool money, tied for the lowest of any team. They can give all of that to Sasaki if they wish. San Francisco also has one other way to raise more money. MLB rules allow teams to trade for up to 60% of their bonus pool money. So, the Giants could push it to close to $8 million.

Justin Verlander and the San Francisco Giants finalized a $15 million, one-year contract on Saturday. A three-time AL Cy Young Award winner, Verlander joins a projected rotation led by All-Star right-hander Logan Webb.

Verlander and the Giants have agreed on a one-year contract pending a physical, according to multiple reports. Per ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, Verlander’s deal is worth $15 million.

The San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers have been informed Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki won't be signing with them.

Padres officials hosted Sasaki in San Diego over the weekend after the pitcher visited the Blue Jays last week in Toronto.
