Osleivis Basabe Outrighted and Declares Free Agency After Tough 2026 Season

Osleivis Basabe declared for free agency after being outrighted by the San Francisco Giants following a challenging 2026 campaign. Despite a hot start with 3 home runs and 8 RBIs in his first 8 games, the 26-year-old infielder struggled heavily down the stretch, finishing with a .202/.268/.341 slash line, 5 home runs, 13 RBIs, and a -0.5 fWAR across 46 games. Basabe previously hit .288 in MiLB but failed to cement a major league roster spot.
