Drew Pomeranz has signed a one year, $1.5 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. Incentives could put that figure as high as $5 million.
Pomeranz spent the past two and a half seasons with the Boston Red Sox and earned a World Series ring in 2018. However, last season was not a happy time for Pomeranz. After winning a career high 17 games in 2017, Pomeranz struggled going 2-6 with a 6.08 ERA in 26 appearances. Pomeranz was removed from the starting rotation in early August and did not pitch in the post-season.
The 30-year old southpaw has a chance to revive his career with a return to the West Coast. Prior to joining the Red Sox, Pomeranz pitched with the Colorado Rockies, Oakland A's and San Diego Padres. Pomeranz was selected to the NL All Star Team in 2016 shortly before being dealt to Boston. Getting as far away from Boston as possible and back in the NL West might be the best opportunity for Pomeranz to revive his career.
