Signs MiLB deal with Giants
Newsome signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Dec. 10.
ANALYSIS
Newsome spent most of the 2022 campaign recovering from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in the summer of 2021, but he made 11 appearances (two starts) in the minors and posted a 4.38 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 12.1 innings. He made 12 appearances (five starts) with the Mariners between the 2020 and 2021 campaigns, and it's possible that he'll be invited to major-league spring training in 2023.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Newsome deserves a lot of credit for clawing his way to the majors as a 26th-round pick in 2015. He made his first big-league appearance Aug. 20 and his first big-league start Aug. 27, one of four starts down the stretch for Seattle, although he never went more than 4.1 innings in a start. Newsome is a fastball-curveball-changeup pitcher with middling velocity. The right-hander has not shown a huge strikeout punch on the farm, averaging under a strikeout per inning in almost 500 minor-league frames. Teams are going to need arms in 2021 to spread the workload around and (in theory) mitigate injury risk, and Newsome will get more chances to toe the rubber at the major-league level. He has a lot more to prove before he can be entrusted with an active lineup spot in mixed leagues.
