One of the first bits of housekeeping each offseason is for teams and players to make a decision on club and player options. The San Francisco Giants had one player with an option decision to make on his end.
Veteran reliever Tony Watson held a player option for the 2020 season after signing a creative, incentive-based two-year contract that included the potential for a third year.
It was announced on Saturday evening that he will be back with the Giants next season.
His 2020 contract will carry a $2.5 million base salary, but once again there will be significant room for him to increase his earning power.
