I guess it was stupid, silly, ignorant, ridiculous, blogger-level intelligence to presume that the San Francisco Giants would benefit from a bunch of cheap baseball team owners holding onto their money and not claiming any of the players the Angels made available on waivers. As we learned this morning, the Giants came away with none of them.
The Cleveland Guardians claimed pitchers Lucas Giolito, Matt Moore, and Reynaldo López; the Reds claimed slugger Hunter Renfroe and wizard defender CF Harrison Bader. OF Randal Grichuk and reliever José Cisnero went unclaimed.
It’s a bit of a bummer that the Giants were denied the chance for one last marginal upgrade that only cost them money, because going out on the 1-2 of A.
