Left-hander Drew Smyly is the latest bargain bin signing by the San Francisco Giants.
He will join an intriguing collection of starting pitchers vying for a spot in the rotation in the wake of Madison Bumgarner departing in free agency.
The 30-year-old Smyly was signed to a one-year contract on Thursday, per the team's Twitter page:
He will add some welcome depth to a weak starting rotation and could wind up playing a similar role to the one Drew Pomeranz filled last season.
