The San Francisco Giants made a mild-mannered move over the All-Star break, quietly waiving right-handed reliever Eric Cerantola and outrighting him to AAA Sacramento. Cerantola, a fifth-round pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2021 who made his MLB debut earlier this year, had been claimed off of waivers earlier this month when Kansas City designated him for assignment. He appeared in two games for Sacramento before being waived, but, after being outrighted, he\u2019ll surely appear in more.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an odd move in that it brings the Giants 40-man roster down to 39 names, which is where it\u2019s been for much of the season. Then again, perhaps the Giants figured that the All-Star break is the perfect time to sneak a player through waivers, since no teams are playing and thus incurring injuries and holes on the roster.<\/p>\n
In other transaction news, outfielder Trevor Cohen \u2014 the organization\u2019s third-round pick in the 2025 draft \u2014 is apparently joining teammates Gavin Kilen (their first-round pick in 2025) and Dakota Jordan (their fourth-round pick in 2024) in getting promoted from High-A Eugene to AA Richmond. They\u2019re all scheduled to be with the Flying Squirrels when the Minor League season resumes tomorrow.<\/p>\n
And in less happy transaction news, the Giants quietly released left-handed pitcher Juan S\u00e1nchez a few days ago. S\u00e1nchez nearly broke camp with the team after a stellar Spring Training in 2024, but has struggled with both injuries and performance since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco Giants made a mild-mannered move over the All-Star break, quietly waiving right-handed reliever Eric Cerantola…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,105996,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-400868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-giants-discussion","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
