Giants Re-Sign Derek Holland
6 years agoThe San Francisco Giants re-signed starting pitcher Derek Holland to a one-year, $7 million deal on Monday, according to a source. The deal includes an option for the 2020 season. He'll make a base salary of $6.5 million in 2019 with a $6.5 million option or $500,000 buyout for 2020. Staying in the National League and the pitcher-friendly environment in San Fran was probably the best thing for the left-hander after he surprised with a 3.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 169 strikeouts in 171 1/3 innings over 36 outings (30 starts) in 2018. Holland had a 6.20 ERA the year before with the White Sox, so he'll be a shaky deep league streaming option despite his good season in 2018.
