Wilmer Flores is celebrating a Giant(s) deal…
The 31-year-old Venezuelan professional baseball utility player and the San Francisco Giants have agreed to a contract that guarantees $16.5 million over the next three seasons and could be worth up to $21.5 million.
Flores gets salaries of $6.5 million each in 2023 and 2024. The deal includes an $8.5 million club option for 2025. If the team declines, Flores has a $3.5 million player option.
He’s playing this season under a $3.5 million team option, completing a three-year deal worth $9.5 million.
Flores is hitting .235 and has matched his career high of 18 homers and set a career best with 65 RBIs. He leads the Giants in RBIs, runs (66) and games (132) and is tied for the team high with 18 doubles.
Flores has a team-high 48 homers in his three years with San Francisco, playing first, second and third.
Flores will make a $32,500 annual donation to the Giants Community Fund in each of the next two seasons, and an additional donation in 2025 if he plays under an option year.
