Things have ben rather quiet for the SF Giants this offseason, so sometimes the most exciting news is when a former Giant signs with a new team. That is what Carson Ragsdale just did as he signed with the Hanshin Tigers, an NPB team from Japan.
The Giants entered 2025 with three young pitching prospects named Carson: Carson Whisenhunt, Carson Seymour, and Ragsdale. Only the dreamers dared to imagine a future in which all three would appear in a Giants game, perhaps even consecutively. It seemed too good to be true and Ragsdale ended up being the odd Carson out.
