2 years agoThe San Francisco Giants and infielder Wilmer Flores agreed on a two-year contract extension on Monday with a mutual option for the 2025 season, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and it's pending a physical. In his third season with the Giants in 2022, Flores is hitting .235/.319/.414 with a career-high-tying 18 home runs, 65 RBI and 66 runs scored in 523 plate appearances over 132 games played. He's not much of an asset these days on defense, other than the fact that he can play both corner infield spots, but he's supplied nice power for the Gigantes this year. Because of other injuries on the team, Flores has pretty much been an everyday player this year, and he could serve in a platoon role at first base in 2023 if Brandon Belt (knee) is unable to continue his career.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
