3 long-time SF Giants who may be playing their final month with the team

2. Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski

Another player who has endeared himself to SF Giants fans over the years is Mike Yastrzemski. He plays the game hard and has been a fairly consistent player for the team since his debut back in 2019.

Of course, there are many fans who are frustrated by the fact that he can be very streaky at the plate and can run very cold at times. This season his stats have been respectable. He is slashing .239/.309/.430 with 12 home runs and 44 RBI.

Yastrzemski brings a lot of value with his defense, though. He is a very solid right fielder which means that he is a valuable player overall even if he is not the most reliable or consistent hitter.

He is eligible for arbitration this offseason but that does not mean the Giants will offer him a contract. He made $7.9 million this season but could be due to earn closer to $10 million next year. We saw how the Giants played things with J.D. Davis earlier this year by cutting him after arbitration so a similar thing could happen with Yastrzemski.

It is definitely not certain that this will be Yastrzemski's final year with the Giants, but it is a possibility depending on how things transpire in the offseason.
