This morning, Chronicle beatwriter Shayna Rubin reported that the San Francisco Giants “are expected to sign outfielder Daniel Johnson to a minor league contract.” She makes mention of the 29-year old left-handed hitter’s current line for the Caliente de Durango of the Mexican League (managed by former major league catcher Ronny Paulino): .429/.512/.943 with 5 home runs and 3 doubles to go with a 2:1 K:BB in 10 games (41 PA).
The addition is the third this week. On Wednesday, the team added 28-year old 3B Devin Mann and 26-year old OF Cal Mitchell following five others being cut from the minor leagues.
