Just two days after Derek Holland chastised the San Francisco Giants brass, in part for their roster turnover, the team designated catcher Erik Kratz for assignment.
The Giants needed to open up a spot on the 25-man roster for outfielder Aaron Altherr, whom the Giants claimed off of waivers. Altherr is set to be activated on Tuesday before the team begins their two-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Kratz being DFA’d could be seen a mile away. Though he began the season on the roster, the veteran’s time in San Francisco was always destined to be short.
