Well, that was fast. A little less than three weeks after the Giants traded for Diamondbacks reliever Jake Barrett, they’ve designated him for assignment after claiming utility infielder Hanser Alberto off waivers from the Orioles.
It’s worth noting:
This is who the Orioles designated for assignment to make room for Josh Osich. This is some real LIttlefinger and Varys shit. https://t.co/wM6WH8ha1c

Also worth noting: every time the Giants make a transaction that involves the bullpen right now, it forces Doug to rewrite his bullpen piece for the 2019 season preview.
