Jon Heyman reports that the San Francisco Giants have signed left-handed hitting utility player Jake Lamb to a minor league deal with invite to Spring Training and a $1 million contract should he be promoted to the majors in 2025.
The 34-year old made a name for himself in the middle of last decade for the Arizona Diamondbacks, when from 2014-2017, he slashed .250/.336/.462 with 69 HR and 241 RBI in 1,752 PA (444 games). He also generated 7.5 wins above replacement, according to Baseball Reference. In 2017, he was named to the NL All-Star Game as a reserve (Buster Posey — now the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations but then the Giants’ catcher — was named to the starting NL lineup).
