San Francisco Giants add another lefty to bullpen ahead of spring training

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Under president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, the Giants have valued players with minor league options who can be sent back and forth from San Francisco to Triple-A Sacramento.

The team’s latest acquisition, Jarlin García, doesn’t have any options left, but he could be a strong candidate to join the team’s Opening Day bullpen.

The Giants claimed García off waivers from the Miami Marlins Monday and designated right-handed pitcher Burch Smith for assignment. Smith appeared in 10 games for the 2019 Giants and posted a 2.08 ERA over 8 2/3 innings.
