It’s the first day when teams can sign international free agents and the San Francisco Giants have hit the ground running.
First, they signed the best non-Roki Sasaki IFA available in switch hitting shortstop Josuar de Jesus González (go read Brady’s post to understand the excitement), then they added another highly ranked shortstop in Yulian Barreto, and now they’ve added as much as $500,000 to their signing bonus pool after a pair of trades.
Blake Sabol, recently designated for assignment, was traded to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for more pool money.
