"The Giants signed right-handers Adrian Houser and Jason Foley to major league deals yesterday, and in doing so created in a logjam on their 40-man roster. San Francisco's roster was already at capacity before those signings, so they'll need to make a pair of corresponding moves in order to finalize those additions. Those transactions could be simply designating two other players for assignment, but it's also possible that the Giants could look to work out a trade of some kind that clears 40-man roster space."
"While the bullpen market has been buzzing virtually the entire offseason, the market for specifically left-handed relief pitching had been a bit quieter until recently. As of early last week, Gregory Soto was most notable lefty to sign, but that dam has broken. Hoby Milner and Tyler Alexander signed late last week, and things picked up further yesterday with a trio of agreements: Caleb Thielbar returned to the Cubs after a strong rebound season, Drew Pomeranz signed with the Angels,"
"When international players are posted for MLB teams, they're given a limited window during which to sign. That window lasts 30 days for players coming over from the KBO, while NPB players have 45 days. Two such players are having their windows draw to a close in the next few days: KBO infielder Sung Mun Song, who will need to sign by December 21 at 4pm CT, and NPB slugger Munetaka Murakami, who will need to sign by December 22 at 4pm CT."
The Giants signed right-handers Adrian Houser and Jason Foley to major-league deals, creating a logjam on their 40-man roster and necessitating two corresponding moves. San Francisco's roster was already at capacity, so the club may designate players for assignment or pursue trades to clear space. The market for left-handed relievers has recently accelerated with signings including Hoby Milner, Tyler Alexander, Caleb Thielbar, Drew Pomeranz and Caleb Ferguson, leaving notable lefties still available. International posting windows are nearing deadlines for KBO infielder Sung Mun Song (Dec. 21, 4pm CT) and NPB slugger Munetaka Murakami (Dec. 22, 4pm CT).
