US EditionReports: Giants, Luis Arraez agree to 1-year, $12M deal
- On Jan 31, 2026, the San Francisco Giants agreed with Luis Arraez on a one-year, $12 million contract, first reported by ESPN's Jorge Castillo and confirmed by The Post's Joel Sherman.
- The Giants added Arraez to bolster their infield and plan to play him at second base, following a signing on Friday as part of winter roster moves, with more moves not ruled out, Posey said.
- A three-time batting champion, Arraez hit.292 with 181 hits and eight home runs last year, posting a 93.8% contact rate and 6.1% strikeout rate.
- The signing gives the Giants a stronger offensive infield as Schmitt likely becomes a super-utility player while Lee moves to right field alongside Bader in center.
- Defensive measures over nearly 2,800 innings indicate Arraez’s defensive runs saved and outs above average are poor, and his 2025 season showed career lows in expected slugging and hard-hit percentage.
