Luke Jackson and the San Francisco Giants have agreed to terms on a multi-year deal, per multiple reports. The righthanded reliever has a two year, $11.5 million guarantee that will pay him $3 million in 2023, $6.5 million in 2024, and includes a 2025 club option for $7 million with a $2 million buyout.
This is a surprisingly hefty deal for Jackson, who underwent Tommy John surgery in April, 2022, and missed the entire season. Jackson would seem likely to start 2023 on the injured list.
The former Texas Ranger first rounder was, you may recall, shunted off to the Atlanta Braves for Brady Feigl and Tyrell Jenkins after the 2016 season.
