It had been a while since the Giants front office made a waiver claim. As usual, the player they picked up has an intriguing background once you dig a little deeper.
The Giants on Tuesday claimed outfielder Jose Siri off waivers from the Seattle Mariners and immediately sent him to minor league camp. Siri is coming off a couple of rough minor league seasons, but like many young waiver claims the Giants have added, he does have some strong stretches in his background.
Siri broke out in 2017, posting a .341 on-base percentage in High-A ball with 24 homers and 46 stolen bases.
