Giants Release Carlos Torres

By Jeff Todd | August 28, 2019 at 12:56pm CDT

The Giants have released veteran righty Carlos Torres, according to the Pacific Coast League transactions page. He had joined the organization earlier this month on a minors deal.

Details of the departure aren’t clear, but the San Francisco organization has continued to churn through a large number of relief arms. Torres had been working at the team’s top affiliate, marking his fourth Triple-A team on the season.

The 36-year-old Torres, a ten-year MLB veteran, has thrown 62 1/3 total innings of 4.33 ERA ball this year, with 7.8 K/9 against 3.3 BB/9. He’s not likely to be seen as a major possible addition by a contender, but could certainly help pad the depth of an organization that wants to be sure it’s covered down the stretch.

      Yeah, should be honest about it; not fair to players and disappointing to fans.

    ERA under 9.00? No worries, the Pirates will sign him tomorrow!

    Was surprised the Giants didn’t claim Luiz Gohara who was unceremoniously released by the Braves.. Gohara is the type of pitcher who, when healthy, could have been the Giants next rescue-from-the-dumpster signing. The guy was abundantly mentioned on prospect lists for the past two years. Yeah, I know he’s hurt right now, but big lefties with a killer slider and who can reach 100 mph don’t grow on trees. At least not on any trees currently growing on the Giants farm.
