3 years agoThe San Francisco Giants and first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal includes a third-year club option. The extension buys out Ruf's final two years of arbitration and potentially one free-agent season. In his second year with the Giants in 2021, the 35-year-old hit .271/.385/.519 with a career-high 16 home runs, 43 RBI and 41 runs scored in 312 plate appearances over 117 games. Ruf hit a respectable .276/.370/.517 in 40 games for San Francisco in 2020, too, but his fantasy value is capped on the short side of a platoon at first base and in the outfield for the Giants.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
