Giants Non-Tender Joey Lucchesi, Free Agent Now
Update: 2025-11-22
Description
The San Francisco Giants recently released left-handed pitcher Joey Lucchesi, opening up a roster spot and sending him to free agency. Despite his solid performance, the Giants chose flexibility, a common theme with their front office. Lucchesi, known for his ground ball tendencies and effective handling of tough situations, finished the 2025 season with a 0-1 record, 3.76 ERA, and 31 strikeouts. Fans question the decision, but factors like health history and strikeout rates can influence such choices. Jon Heyman of the New York Post Sports noted Lucchesis 3.52 expected ERA, 54% groundball rate, and strong performance against left-handed batters. The Giants may attempt to re-sign him to a minor-league deal, benefiting both parties.
