The SF Giants have signed starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker to a minor league deal, according to a report by GPT. A nine-year MLB veteran, Shoemaker struggled mightily in the Minnesota Twins rotation this season and was designated for assignment earlier this season before he was released. In 16 appearances with the Twins (11 starts), he recorded an 8.06 ERA, 40 strikeouts, 27 walks, and 15 home runs in 60.1 innings pitched.
