	< Previous season

The 2022 San Francisco Giants season will be the 140th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, their 65th year in San Francisco, and their 23rd at Oracle Park. This will be the third season under manager Gabe Kapler and also will be the first season since 2008 without longtime catcher Buster Posey, who retired in November.

On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, the MLB and MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day is scheduled for April 7.^[1] Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the agreement provides for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.^[2]

Offseason[]

Lockout[]

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021 with no new agreement in place.^[3] As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players stopping all free agency and trades.^[4]^[5]

The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.^[6]

Rule changes[]

Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season. The National League will adopt the designated hitter full-time, a draft lottery will be implemented, the postseason will expand from ten teams to twelve, and advertising patches will appear on player uniforms and helmets for the first time.^[7]^[8]

Transactions[]

November 7, 2021 − The Giants declined to exercise their option on RHP Johnny Cueto, allowing him to become a free agent. The Giants exercised the 2022 contract option on IF Wilmer Flores, LHP José Álvarez, and RHP Jay Jackson. The Giants claimed three players off waivers RHP Hunter Harvey from Baltimore Orioles, OF Austin Dean from St. Louis Cardinals, and LHP Joe Palumbo from Texas Rangers.^[9]
November 22, 2021 − The Giants resigned RHP Anthony DeSclafani to a three-year contract.^[10]
November 22, 2021 − The Giants traded RHP Jay Jackson to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations, and a player to be named later or additional cash considerations.^[11]
November 30, 2021 − The Giants signed RHP Alex Cobb to a two-year contract with a club option for 2024.^[12]
November 30, 2021 − The Giants avoided arbitration with RHP John Brebbia, LHP Jarlin García, and OF Austin Slater agreeing to one-year deals. The Giants tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players OF Mike Yastrzemski, OF Darin Ruf, C Curt Casali, and RHP Dominic Leone. The Giants decline to tender the contracts on OF Luis González, RHP Sam Delaplane, and LHP Joe Palumbo, allowing them to become free agents.^[13]
December 1, 2021 − The Giants resigned LHP Alex Wood to a two-year contract.^[14]
March 14, 2022 − The Giants signed LHP Carlos Rodón to a two-year contract. Rodón can opt out of the contract after one year.^[15]
