Giants Sign Nick Tropeano

By Connor Byrne | February 16, 2021 at 9:02pm CDT

9:02pm: The Giants have announced the move, Maria Guardado of MLB.com was among those to report.

8:17pm: It’s a minor league deal that features a $1.1MM base salary, and it could end up around $2MM if Tropeano reaches the incentives included, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

8:03pm: The Giants are signing free-agent right-hander Nick Tropeano, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com tweets. Details of the contract are unknown as of now.

Tropeano began his career with the Astros in 2014 and then went to the division-rival Angels in a trade before 2015, though he dealt with several injuries in his time with the Halos. As an Angel, Tropeano logged a 4.51 ERA/4.48 SIERA in 195 2/3 innings, most of which came as a starter.

Tropeano, 30, joined the Pirates before last season and held his own as a reliever, recording a 1.15 ERA/3.32 SIERA with his best-ever strikeout and walk percentages (28.8 and 6.1, respectively) in 15 2/3 innings and seven appearances. But the Pirates let Tropeano go on waivers in October to the Mets, who later non-tendered him. He’s not eligible to become a free agent again until after 2022, so whether as a starter or reliever, Tropeano could help the Giants for more than one season if he’s able to carry over his 2020 success going forward.

          Yeah definitely should be signing the likes of Springer and going all in with the current roster, right?

          The Giants record has been mediocre at best and will continue this way as long as FZ keeps rummaging through the trash

          Lol and it wasn’t during the Bobby Evans era? Sabean at his peak was a good GM but once they brought Bobby Evans in, they had one good half of a season in 2016. The rest was a dumpster fire.

        @ABStract How is it ‘Working’ ?

        Zaidi hasn’t constructed a roster that has produced a winning season since he arrived. Lol

          because he inherited a 100 loss team. not because he hasn’t done a good job.

    Well, by now that second tier middle reliever market is pretty defined.

    Looks like Shane Greene should probably get ~ 4 mil AAV, while D-Rob, Clippard, & Jeffress probably sign for ~ 2.5. We’ve a lot of data points by now.
    I’d take any of those 4 as the finishing touch to the Yanks pen.

    Still some good relievers left, but supplies are finally running low. I wasn’t sure all these guys were going to get signed. Still a few teams staying active. Looks like they’ll all find work.

    The Giants have made a lot of these good minor signings this offseason. Their bullpen could end up being halfway decent if a few guys like this pan out.
