Johnny Cueto expected to opt-out of his deal after the season

Johnny Cueto signed a six-year $130 million deal with the Giants prior to the 2016 season. In his first season he went 18-5 with a 2.79 ERA and 198 strikeouts in 219.2 innings, helping lead the Giants to the playoffs. This season has been rocky for Cueto — he's got a a 4.42 ERA in 15 starts and has battled blisters — but they've been far rockier for the Giants overall, as they sit in last place in the NL West and have the second worst record in baseball.
