The San Francisco Giants designated for assignment reliever Trevor Gott on Sunday, marking yet another sharp turn in the Giants roller coaster ride for the right-handed pitcher. The decision came as the team announced the signing of starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez, who needed a space cleared for him on the 40-man roster.
The Giants announced the Aaron Sanchez deal. He’ll make $4 million and can earn another $2.5 million in incentives. Trevor Gott was DFA’d to clear a roster spot.

The Giants acquired Gott in a trade with the Washington Nationals right before Spring Training 2019, sending cash to the Nats in the process.
