San Francisco Giants to reportedly sign RHP Tyler Mahle to 1-year deal

The San Francisco Giants continue to make splashes during this offseason with new hires and signees.

In their most recent transaction, the Giants reportedly will sign 31-year-old right-hand pitcher Tyler Mahle on a one-year deal. He spent the 2025 season with the Texas Rangers.

The deal was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and confirmed by MLB.com, ESPN and NBC Sports Bay Area.

Mahle is expected to help the Giants address their shortcomings at pitcher after the club signed starting pitcher Adrian Houser and relief pitcher Jason Foley.

Entering his 10th MLB season, Mahle has battled some injuries in recent years, including undergoing Tommy John surgery that ended his 2023 season.

Mahle battled back from surgery in 2024, but a nagging injury to his right shoulder forced him to be sidelined again as the 2024 season wound down, and subsequently, he was shut down for the remainder of the year.

He persevered to bounce back in 2025, where he started 16 contests for the Rangers at the start of the season. Mahle put up a 6-4 record as a starter and produced a 2.18 ERA with 66 strikeouts in 86 innings pitched. He sat for months during the 2025 season, as his right shoulder — a rotator cuff strain– continued to give him problems.

Mahle has a career record of 39-46 in 144 games played, including 141 games as starting pitcher. He has a career win percentage at 45.9%. He’s struck out 753 batters in his career, compared to allowing 264 walks.
