Giants Sign Joey Lucchesi To Minor-League DealJanuary 20, 2025 | 05:49 PM

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the San Francisco Giants have signed right-handed pitcher Joey Lucchesi to a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training. The 31-year-old logged just ten innings in the major leagues last season, as he spent most of the season with Triple-A Syracuse. Across his small stint with the Mets, the right-hander posted a 5.23 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Through 115 innings at the Triple-A level, Lucchesi held a 4.70 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. He struck out 86 batters but struggled with his command as he served up 56 walks. While he struggled in 2024, Lucchesi posted a solid 2.89 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP across 46 2/3 innings in the majors in 2023. Fantasy managers should expect him to compete for a long relief role in the San Francisco bullpen during spring training.
