Contract Value Index (CVI)
The Giants' decision to tender Landen Roupp at $0.8M for 2025 represents a prudent, low-risk investment in a serviceable starter who provides valuable rotation depth. Roupp earns a C CVI, reflecting solid value for a back-end starter on a modest one-year deal that allows San Francisco flexibility while evaluating his development trajectory. At just 26 years old, the right-hander offers meaningful innings as a fifth starter or long reliever, particularly valuable given the Giants' need for rotation stability after their inconsistent 2024 campaign. While Roupp projects as a replacement-to-slightly-above-replacement arm rather than a difference-maker, his sub-$1M salary creates virtually no downside risk for a franchise still determining its competitive timeline. The short-term commitment aligns perfectly with San Francisco's approach of maintaining roster flexibility while giving younger arms opportunities to prove themselves at the big league level. This deal won't move the needle significantly, but it's exactly the type of sensible, cost-effective depth signing that allows teams to allocate resources elsewhere while keeping rotation options open.
Performance Analysis
Landen Roupp grades as an All-Star caliber performer among MLB starting pitchers, earning a B+ Performance grade. He carries a 3.73 ERA (near the league average of 4.20) and a 1.45 WHIP across 157.0 innings pitched with a 8.5 K/9 rate. His 8-9 record provides context on team support and run prevention. A 8.5 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a sophomore at 27, Landen is a key contributor for the Giants.
