Joc Pederson News
San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson accepted the team's one-year, $19.65 million qualifying offer on Tuesday to return to the team in 2023, according to a source. Pederson and Rangers left-hander Martin Perez were only two of 14 players given the qualifying offer to accept it this offseason. Pederson made the All-Star team for the second time in 2022 in his first year in the Bay Area, slashing .274/.353/.521 with an .874 OPS, 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 57 runs scored and three stolen bases in 433 plate appearances over 134 games. The 30-year-old will continue to be a nice source of power in fantasy leagues, but he'll also lose some playing time against left-handed pitchers. In 57 plate appearances against them last year, he hit .245 with only two of his 23 home runs against them.
The San Francisco Giants extended the $19.65 million qualifying offer to outfielder Joc Pederson on Thursday. The deal would be a big raise from the $6 million that he earned in 2022, so there's a good chance Pederson will accept the one-year deal from the Giants and return in 2023. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger was San Francisco's best hitter this season, slashing .274/.353/.521 with an .874 OPS, 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 57 runs scored and three stolen bases in 433 plate appearances over 134 games to earn his second career All-Star nod. Pederson's .274 batting average in 2022 was the highest of his career, while his 23 home runs were the fifth time that he's reached the 20-homer plateau in his nine-year career.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson might be sticking around with the organization past the 2022 season. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi mentioned that he has discussed an extension with Pederson. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal worth $6 million this offseason. He is well-deserving of a multi-year deal after what he has accomplished at the plate this season. Pederson is hitting .263/.339/.513 with 20 home runs and 53 RBI through 107 games this season. This could be a good home for the lefty slugger.

The San Francisco Giants offered outfielder Joc Pederson a qualifying offer this winter because the team felt his power was worth the salary. Pederson posted a 93.2 average exit velocity and 52.1% hard-hit rate in 2022, both rating in the top 2% in MLB. He also ranked among the top 5% in the league in expected slugging and wOBA. The Giants utilize platoons frequently, and with a career .215+ OPS split in his results against righties and versus lefties, this definitely helps Pederson. San Francisco signed outfielders Michael Conforto and Mitch Haniger this offseason, which should push Pederson into a platoon role at DH this season. This could allow his bat to play up even further as injuries have crept in when playing defense over the last few years for Pederson, who once was a quality defender before injuries slowed his abilities in the field. Fantasy managers will want to be aware that he will sit against left-handed pitchers and watch schedules in weekly leagues, but with an early ADP in the 230 range, he could return 20-30 home runs for a reasonably low cost.
