The Giants have declined their $22 million club option on starting pitcher Johnny Cueto. The veteran right-hander will instead receive a $5 million buyout. (Jon Heyman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Cueto went 7-7 with a 4.08 ERA through 22 games in 2021, posting 7.69 K/9, 2.35 BB/9, and 1.18 HR/9 rates. However, a right elbow strain shut him down for much of September. He should have no trouble generating interest in free agency, but he won't fetch anywhere near the $22 million that his club option was worth.
