Orioles, Giants Swap Mike Yastrzemski, Tyler Herb

By Ty Bradley | March 23, 2019 at 2:13pm CDT

Per team releases, the Orioles and Giants have swung a minor deal, with righty Tyler Herb headed to Baltimore and outfielder Mike Yastrzemski going to San Francisco.

Yastrzemski, 28, is the grandson of Hall-of-Famer Carl Yastrzemski. He’s made a six-year lap through the Oriole farm, with early highs eventually offset by upper-minors woes. His 2018 season was arguably his best, at least at the AAA level, with the lefty slashing a solid .265/.359/.441 in 374 plate appearances for Norfolk. He’ll provide depth at all three outfield spots for a Giants club starving for warm bodies at each of them.

Herb, 27 next month, began his professional career with Seattle before being sent south as the player to be named later in the Chris Heston deal. 2018 was a struggle for Herb: 13 starts made up his first AAA taste, and it quickly went sour, with the righty posting a 5.35 ERA/5.05 FIP in 70 2/3 innings for Sacramento. Herb has always had issue missing bats, though his repertoire could safely be counted on to induce a high number of grounders. It didn’t last season, though, as the righty posted a career-low 38.1% grounder rate.

      Why? He’s nearly 29 and has been barely treading water in the minors. The most interesting thing about him is that he’s Yaz’s grandson. We have about 6 young OF’s ahead of him on the depth chart.

        You can “only have too much pitching” if your pitching is excessive!

    Yaz has had a couple of decent seasons in Norfolk. If he had been able to develop a bit more power I think he would have had a taste of the majors by now.

      I don’t see him getting called up unless somebody gets hurt and they couldn’t find anybody else. They really don’t have much need for another left handed outfielder unless something bad happens.

        Where young Yaz has a chance is the fact that he has always had a great glove. He could back all three OF positions. Someone you could throw in as a late inning defensive replacement. He has shown to have a little pop in his bat and who knows maybe the change of scenery might help.

      They did draft him out of HS in respect to his HOF grand father and were asked not to draft him out of college so not to put additional pressure on him. After all. LOOK at the blood lines he has and shoes the hyper nagging NE media would have expected him to fill?

    Yastrzemski traded? At least it’s not right before the 1967 season.

    They have Heliot Ramos’ older brother as an NRI, Nolan Arenado’s little brother is in their farm system, and they acquire Yastrzemsi.

    Giants have a weird fascination with relatives-of-players-or-prospects.

      In our family it is rumored that I am Babe Ruth’s not legally recognized grandson, twice removed, I would consider an offer from the Giants to sign…being that I’m 59 years old I’d accept a signing bonus of a knee replacement and lifetime payment of AARP dues!!!

    Baltimore front office calls SF one afternoon, “Hey, I’ll send you a prospect we’ve got here, kid name Yastrzemski if you’ll send us herb.”

    Couple days later, receptionist rings GM “Herb is here from SF.” GM runs out to front desk, pipe in hand, face drops realizing the apparent mistake.
