The official start of Major League Baseball’s offseason is just days away, but teams have already started making minor league deals. The San Francisco Giants have agreed to terms with a couple of players already since being bounced from the postseason a few weeks ago.
Last week, the Giants brought back Kyle Blanks, who was under contract with the team last season but didn’t play at any minor league level. On Tuesday, they added a former high-profile pitcher to the organization, picking up Josh Johnson.
Blanks, a first baseman and corner outfielder, was signed last offseason to a minor league deal with an invitation to Spring Training.
