The Giants needed room on their 40-man roster and Brian Sabean wasn’t going to wait around for someone else to do it. As Andrew Baggarly reported, Kelby Tomlinson is now a minor league free agent after the Giants outrighted him. Joining Specs in free agency is Miguel “Go Go” Gomez, the switch-hitting middle infielder who appeared in all of 31 games for the Giants over the past two seasons. Here’s the full list of what happened:
Outrighted, cleared waivers and re-assigned to Triple-A
Outrighted, cleared waivers and elected free agency
Outrighted, became minor league free agents
All “outrighted” means is that the Giants wanted them off the 40-man roster as quickly as possible.
