Hello and happy Sunday. I hope you enjoyed the first win of the season.
On Saturday, the San Francisco Giants signed catcher Chris Herrmann to a Minor League deal. Herrmann was immediately placed on the team’s taxi squad.
This is much less exciting news than it sounds like, and I say that while fully acknowledging that it doesn’t sound exciting at all.
Teams are allowed three players on a taxi squad for all road games. Those players serve as the three who can be added to the active roster should there be an injury or a positive coronavirus test.
