Robbie Ray is reportedly returning to the San Francisco Giants.
The veteran starting pitcher opted into the final two years of his five-year, $115 million contract with the Giants on Saturday, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 33-year-old will receive $50 million over the next two seasons and will be a free agent in 2027.
Ray inked the five-year contract when he was with the Seattle Mariners in 2022. The Giants acquired him before the 2024 season in exchange for outfielder Mitch Haniger and right-handed pitcher Anthony DeSclafani.
Ray, a former Cy Young Award winner, has pitched just eight times since the start of the 2023 season.
