Giants active in Rule 5 draft, add two players to major league roster

LAS VEGAS–Farhan Zaidi didn’t stick around for the final day of the Winter Meetings.

But that didn’t stop the Giants from remaining active.

The Giants selected a pair of players in Major League Baseball’s Rule 5 draft, adding left-handed pitcher Travis Bergen out of the Toronto Blue Jays organization and Andrew Ferguson from the Houston Astros on Thursday.

Though Zaidi flew out of Las Vegas early Thursday morning, assistant general manager Jeremy Shelley represented the club on the final day of the Winter Meetings and spearheaded a mission to find major league-ready contributors.

“We’re looking to improve the overall depth of the roster,” Shelley said.
