The latest minor moves from around baseball…
Latest Moves
- The Giants outrighted right-hander Derek Law and outfielder John Andreoli to Triple-A after both players cleared waivers, as per a team announcement (hat tip to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Alex Pavlovic). Law and Andreoli were both recently designated for assignment; in fact, Law was DFA’ed to clear roster space for Andreoli’s signing on February 1. The two will remain in San Francisco’s farm system as depth options, though Andreoli might have a clearer path to winning a big league job given the Giants’ lack of everyday outfielders.

- The Marlins have outrighted outfielder Isaac Galloway to Triple-A New Orleans after he cleared waivers, Wells Dusenbury of the Sun Sentinel tweets. Galloway will attend major league spring training as a non-roster invitee, the team announced. The Marlins designated Galloway for assignment this past Monday to make room for the addition of right-hander Austin Brice, whom they claimed off waivers from the Orioles. A member of the Marlins since they selected him in the eighth round of the 2008 draft, the 29-year-old Galloway finally debuted in the majors last season, when he totaled 74 plate appearances and slashed .203/.301/.391 with three home runs. Galloway has posted nearly identical numbers at the Triple-A level, where he has hit .256/.304/.393 in 1,395 PAs, though he is coming off a 20-stolen base season in the minors.

Nothing matters except WAR
You know nothing of war so shut it dingle
This must be your proudest accomplishment
Minor transactions indeed.
Galloway actually looked decent in his short stint in ’18.
He didn’t re-write the record books by any means, but sometimes…..guys take a little bit of exposure to explode.
The stats don’t show it, but the eye test wasn’t bad.
Maybe he’ll get another shot in 2019
Still baffled why they chose to DFA and lose Wittgren before they attempted this with Galloway. Galloway cleared easily. As nobody wants a 28 year old rookie who has been a minor league free agent twice. As an Indians fan I’ll take it though.
Kluber was a 28 year old rookie.
He wasn’t a minor league FA twice.
Kluber’s rookie status ended in 2013, his age 26 season.
@Kingweazle that is false
Downright stunning outrights.
I’m actually confused as to how Law and Andreoli didn’t get claimed. Wow. Great for the Giants.
