Snell completes what has been a busy offseason for the Giants, who have made the playoffs only once in the last seven years and strived to acquire more star power for a team now led by three-time Manager of the Year Bob Melvin.But their biggest moves came late, when they landed Chapman on March 1 with a three-year, $54 million deal that includes two opt-outs, and then, 18 days later, agreed to bring in Snell.
Snell has long been renowned for having some of the nastiest stuff of any left-hander in the game, with a vicious fastball-breaking ball combination.
