Alex Cobb Stats

The San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Alex Cobb have finalized a deal to add the veteran right-hander to their rotation for the next two seasons, agreeing on a contract worth $20 million dollars. Cobb will be paid $9 million dollars in each of 2022 and 2023, and the club holds an option for 2024 worth $10 million dollars with a $2 million dollar buyout. Cobb had a strong 2021 until he went down with injury, recording a 3.76 ERA in 93 1/3 innings with an impressive career-high 24.9 percent strikeout rate. The team now has signed Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, and Cobb to follow Logan Webb in the rotation, while losing Kevin Gausman to the Toronto Blue Jays.

The San Francisco Giants are finalizing an agreement with starting pitcher Alex Cobb that will bring the 10-year veteran to the team. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle indicated that the team was making Cobb a priority earlier in the offseason, and now those efforts have paid off. Terms of the deal are not yet known. Cobb had perhaps the best season of his career in 2021, posting a 3.76 ERA and 2.92 FIP with 98 strikeouts in 93 1/3 innings before missing time with injury. He joins a rotation that includes Logan Webb, Anthony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood. Further additions are expected, though they may have to wait until after a new collective bargaining agreement is worked out.

The San Francisco Giants are making a "strong push" to sign starting pitcher Alex Cobb as they seek to solidify their starting rotation behind ace Logan Webb. Having already brought Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood back into the fold on Monday, they could soon be adding Cobb, who managed a 3.76 ERA across 93 1/3 innings for the Los Angeles Angels in his age-34 season. While injuries remain a concern for Cobb, his strikeout percentage, swinging-strike rate and opponent's chase rate were all career-high numbers in 2021. That should do plenty to raise his profile with not only front offices, but also with fantasy managers.
