Knowing that they are a safe bet to win the 2016 World Series given their recent history in even years, the San Francisco Giants took steps to ensure a fourth title in seven seasons by signing Johnny Cueto.
Coming off a World Series win with the Kansas City Royals, Cueto agreed to a six-year, $130 million deal with the Giants on Wednesday, per MLB.com's Chris Haft.
The even-year phenomenon was not lost on Cueto, who posted a special Twitter message to Giants fans on Wednesday:
It's an even year and I'm ready to roll.
