]]>The 31-year-old infielder committed to a three-year deal that will become official once he undergoes a physical.
La Stella started the shortened 2020 MLB season with the Los Angeles Angels but ended up being traded to Oakland Athletics in August. He had a solid campaign overall, ending the year with a .281 batting average, five home runs, and 25 RBIs.
Bringing in La Stella could turn out to be a good move for the Giants, as he gives them versatility at positions of need. He also complements the rest of the team’s infield, considering that he bats with a left hand and the rest of the Giants’ infielders are right-hand batters.
Another thing that should get San Francisco fans excited about Tommy La Stella is his reliability. He has been consistent at-bats throughout his career and rarely strikes out. In 228 plate appearances in 2020, La Stella struck out only 12 times.
La Stella, who previously also played with Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs, has a .274 batting average with 31 home runs and 163 RBIs. He has one All-Star appearance from 2019.

]]>Minor split 2020 between Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics, posting 5.54 ERA with 1-6 record and 62 strikeouts in 12 games.
This will mark the return to Kansas City for Minor, as he suited up for the Royals during the 2017 MLB season. He was coming off a Tommy John surgery at the time but managed to produce a respectable campaign as a reliever, finishing the year with a 2.55 ERA and 6-6 record.
Minor turned the success with Royals into a three-year, $28 million contract with Rangers and was mostly productive during his stint with the organization. He especially had a strong outing in 2019, when he went 14-10 with 3.59 ERA and 200 strikeouts en route to his first career All-Star nod and eighth place in Cy Young voting.
Royals are now expecting Minor to step up for them again, as he will most likely be a starter and play a significant role in the rotation for the next MLB season. The team also has the likes of Brad Keller, Danny Duffy, and Brady Singer as rotational pieces, with several prospects also knocking on the door.
