SAN FRANCISCO — Free agent right-hander Tyler Mahle has finalized a one-year deal with the San Francisco Giants, who built out their pitching staff this offseason.
The team announced the deal. San Francisco also added right-hander Adrian Houser to a two-year, $22 million contract that includes a club option through 2028. Reliever Jason Foley signed a one-year deal worth $2 million.

Mahle, 31, went 6-4 with several career highs last season for Texas: a 2.18 ERA, opponents’ batting average against (.218), OPS against (.593) and home runs per nine innings (0.52) with a minimum of 10 starts.
He missed more than two months, from June 12 to September 18, due to fatigue in his throwing shoulder.
Mahle returns home to California. He was selected by the Reds in the seventh round of the 2013 draft out of Westminster High School and pitched parts of nine major league seasons for Cincinnati, Minnesota and the Rangers.
