Right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser, Giants reportedly agree to two-year contract originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Giants bolstered their starting rotation on Tuesday.
San Francisco agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract with right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported, citing sources.
Houser, 32, went 8-5 and posted a 3.31 ERA with 92 strikeouts and 38 walks in 125 combined innings pitched with the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays last season.

Selected by the Houston Astros in the second round of the 2011 MLB Draft, Houser made his MLB debut with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2015 before returning to the minors for a few seasons and finally sticking at the major-league level starting in 2019.
Houser was traded from Milwaukee to the New York Mets in Dec. 2023 and signed with Chicago as a free agent in May of last season before he was dealt again to Tampa Bay before last summer’s trade deadline.
Over parts of nine MLB seasons, Houser has a career 40-44 record with a 4.06 ERA in 733 2/3 combined innings pitched.
It’s unclear exactly how San Francisco might use Houser next season, but he, at the very least, should provide valuable veteran depth in the starting rotation.
