Patient Giants add Cy Young winner Snell

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. >> With less than two weeks until Opening Day, the Giants reportedly made one of their biggest additions of the offseason Monday evening.

Blake Snell, the reigning National League Cy Young winner, will reunite with manager Bob Melvin and shore up a depleted starting rotation. The deal is for a reported two years and $62 million with an opt out after this season.

The deal has not been officially announced by the team, pending a physical. Snell, however, appeared to offer his own confirmation with a photo posted to his personal Instagram of him edited into the Giants' home uniform, captioned with two orange and black heart emojis.

Snell, 31, joins third baseman Matt Chapman as an exclamation point on the Giants' offseason, bringing their total commitments north of $300 million, second only to the Dodgers. Like Chapman, Snell is a client of superagent Scott Boras, who didn't get the nine-figure deal he wanted.

Playing the waiting game paid off for the Giants, who now feature the top two finishers in last year's National League Cy Young voting at the top of their rotation.

One of three pitchers to win the award in both leagues, Snell should slot into the No. 2 spot in the rotation behind Logan Webb, boosting a group that has two starters rehabbing from surgeries (Alex Cobb, Robbie Ray), another lost to injury this spring (Tristan Beck), another limited by injury this spring (Keaton Winn) and two more with a combined 15 starts in the majors (Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison).
