Buster Posey made his first big roster decisions since becoming the Giants’ president of baseball operations ahead of Friday’s non-tender deadline, agreeing with OF Mike Yastrzemski and RHP Austin Warren on one-year deals and tendering contracts to RHP Tyler Rogers, RHP Camilo Doval and INF LaMonte Wade Jr.
Yastrzemski will make $9.25 million in 2025, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
Warren, who achieved Super 2 status, is slated to receive a little more than the league minimum, per source.
LHP Ethan Small and RHP Kai-Wei Teng have been non-tendered, the team also announced.
Tendering contracts doesn’t necessarily mean they will be on next year’s team. The Giants could still trade any of them. Tendering them contracts ensures that the players won’t become free agents.
Rogers, Wade and Yastrzemski are slated to become free agents after the 2025 season. Doval has two years of arbitration remaining (2026-27), while Warren has three years of arbitration left (2026-28).
Yastrzemski, 34, had a .231 batting average and .739 OPS with 18 home runs and 57 RBIs in 140 games. On defense, Yastrzemski was worth five defensive runs saved (-2 outs above average) and was a finalist for a Gold Glove Award in right field, but the hardware went to the Brewers’ Sal Frelick. Yastrzemski is scheduled to be part of an outfield featuring Heliot Ramos and Jung Hoo Lee.
Wade, 30, dealt with a hamstring injury that limited him to 117 games, but the first baseman still had a .260 batting average and .761 OPS with eight homers and 34 RBIs.
Doval, 27, experienced a tumultuous year, one in which he was demoted to Triple-A Sacramento and lost his closer role to Ryan Walker. Over 59 innings, Doval posted career-worsts in ERA (4.88) and FIP (3.71). Doval’s 5.95 walks per nine innings were the most among MLB relievers.
Rogers, who turns 34 in December, turned in another excellent season, posting a 2.82 ERA over 70 1/3 innings while appearing in a National League-leading 77 games.
