Jorge Soler has signed with the San Francisco Giants, bringing his impressive career numbers, including a .929 OPS, .317 BA, and .512 SLG at Oracle Park, to the team. His addition is seen as a significant power boost for the Giants' lineup, particularly against left-handed pitchers (LHP), a need highlighted by his 181 WRC+ against LHP. Soler's contract details, a 3-year deal worth $42 million AAV, reflect the Giants' commitment to enhancing their roster. His performance last season, with 36 home runs in 138 games, underscores the potential impact on the Giants, who were looking to address weaknesses from the last season's second half. The move has sparked discussions about the Giants' strategy and potential impacts, including the elusive right-handed Splash Hit at Oracle Park.
The Giants were lacking in several areas in the second half of last season. Jorge Soler should help fix those problems, @PavlovicNBCS writes https://t.co/aoIapEj0Up

No matter what happens with the Red Sox pitching staff for the rest of this offseason, with or without Jordan Montgomery, I’m a big believer in Andrew Bailey and what he can do for the staff. 🔴 Giants SP from 2017-2019: - 24th in fWAR - 4.47 ERA - 4.46 FIP - 7.4 K/9, 2.9 BB/9… https://t.co/nLwRCzwZBP

Earlier today I made a post saying that since Jorge Soler signed with the Giants, the guy they should pivot to is Garrett Cooper since he hits LHP well, which the Red Sox RHH didn’t do so hot against last year. However, I would also be game for Michael Taylor, who had some good… https://t.co/kOw4zZ59ao
love the Soler addition for SF and so glad the elusive right-handed Splash Hit is mentioned here we pondered this exact question back in 2019 and didn't mention Soler just because he was in the AL but he really is an excellent candidate for it https://t.co/TGkVzouwFT https://t.co/lkqiRK2lja
Bottom line. Soler’s 3 yrs/$42 million AAV is very reasonable for his power production. It would be the only real spending this offseason. It’s not mindless spending. Would have sent signal to clubhouse and fan base that #Marlins had serious commitment in ‘24. @ManOn2nd
With Jorge Soler heading to the Giants, the Red Sox still need a RHH that can hit LHP well. Red Sox vs LHP as RHH last season- .254/.326/.407, 96 WRC+ - Soler was great vs LHP (181 WRC+), but there are still options out there. Imo, Garrett Cooper should be that guy. 🔴 Cooper… https://t.co/qlSwsYYmfa
