Three-time batting champion Luis Arraez is joining the San Francisco Giants on a one-year, $12 million contract, per multiple media reports on Saturday.
Per MLB.com, Arraez will be the Giants’ full-time second baseman, joining an infield that features third baseman Matt Chapman, shortstop Willy Adames and first baseman Rafael Devers.
Arraez, entering his age-29 season in 2026, won three straight batting titles with the Minnesota Twins (2022), Miami Marlins (2023) and San Diego Padres (2024).
