The contract includes a team option for $7 million for 2025 as well as a $2 million buyout should the Giants decline to exercise it. Should the option be exercised, Jackson will make a $15,000 donation to the Giants Community Fund in 2023, followed by further donations of $32,500 in 2024 and $35,000 in 2025.

Jackson missed the entirety of the 2022 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on April 13. In 2021, the 31-year-old proved to be an essential member of the Atlanta Braves lineup, helping the team to win the World Series. He went 2-2 with a career-low 1.98 ERA in 71 games in 2021.

Over the course of his seven-year career, Jackson is 16-6 with a 4.24 ERA with 19 saves in 253 relief appearances. Prior to arriving in Atlanta, Jackson spent two seasons with the Texas Rangers.

San Francisco has also acquired left-hander Erik Miller, trading right-hander Yunior Marte to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange.

The deal struck between the Giants and Conforto’s agent Scott Boras will see the outfielder return to the field after spending the entirety of the 2022 season sidelined due to undergoing shoulder surgery in April. This comes after the 29-year-old player declined an $18.4 million qualifying offer from the New York Mets, thereby becoming a free agent.

Conforto played the first seven years of his MLB career with the Mets, where he established himself as a .255 hitter with 132 home runs, 396 RBIs, and a .824 OPS. In 2017, his standout performance earned him a spot on the All-Star team.

For Boras, this winter has proven to be a lucrative trade period, with another one of his clients, Carlos Correa, signing a 12-year, $315 million contract with the New York Mets.

According to Longoria, he should be back in six to eight weeks. “Hopefully soon after the All-Star break, I should be back,” Longoria told reporters on Saturday. “It shouldn’t be too long before I can start the process of strengthening it. Once the incision heals, it’s pretty much pain tolerance. It’s best to say six to eight weeks, but I have a hard time telling myself that. I’ll definitely push for some time soon after the All-Star break.”

Evan Longoria has played 67 games for the Giants in 2018 season in which he had .246 batting average, 63 hits, and 10 homers.

Prior to joining San Francisco Giants, Longoria spent 10 years with the Tampa Bay Rays, earning three All-Star appearances, three Gold Glove Awards, and one Silver Slugger Award.
