Giants sign Webb to 5-year, $90M extension
The San Francisco Giants and right-hander Logan Webb have agreed to a five-year, $90-million contract extension, the club announced Friday.
The deal will keep the 26-year-old under team control through the 2028 season.
Webb will earn $8 million next season, $12 million in 2025, $23 million in 2026 and 2027, and $24 million in 2028. The deal will buy out three of his free-agent years.
Webb grew up in California and is excited to remain close to home for the foreseeable future.
"It was just important for me to be able to say I can wear a Giants uniform for a long time," Webb said, according to NBC Sports' Alex Pavlovic. "It's important for not only myself but my family and especially my community back home (in Rocklin, California) ... this is where I wanted to be."
Selected by San Francisco in the fourth round of the 2014 draft, Webb has blossomed into the ace of the Giants' rotation and one of baseball's most underrated hurlers over the past few seasons.
Since the start of the 2021 campaign, Webb has registered a 2.96 ERA over 340 2/3 innings. He owns a career 31-22 record with a 3.59 ERA and 426 strikeouts over 451 2/3 innings.
Webb posted an 0-3 record with a 4.76 ERA over his first three starts this season. He did, however, set a career high in strikeouts when he punched out 12 New York Yankees on Opening Day.
