Giants focused on catching depth, plan to add former A’s fan favorite

SCOTTSDALE–When pitchers and catchers report to the Giants’ complex in Scottsdale on Tuesday, popular clubhouse presence Nick Hundley won’t be joining them.

Hundley is moving across the bay to Oakland, but a former A’s catcher will have a chance to replace him in San Francisco. Two-time All-Star Stephen Vogt is expected to finalize a minor league deal with the Giants once he completes a physical on Tuesday.

The Associated Press first reported Vogt reached an agreement with the Giants.

Vogt had shoulder surgery last May and missed the entire 2018 season, but the Giants are hopeful he can provide versatility at a key position.
