Giants, Justin Haley Reportedly Agree To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | August 6, 2019 at 8:34pm CDT

The Giants are set to sign right-hander Justin Haley to a minor league contract, according to Roster Roundup (Twitter link).

Haley, 28, appeared in 10 games with the 2017 Twins as a Rule 5 pick before he was returned to the Red Sox. He was selected to the Red Sox’ roster a year later in 2018 but pitched in only four games at the MLB level before being outrighted off the 40-man roster at season’s end. In the offseason, he opted to sign with the Samsung Lions of the Korea Baseball Organization rather than pursue a minor league contract with an MLB organization. Things didn’t go well for Haley in the hitter-friendly KBO. He made 19 starts there and was tagged for a 5.75 ERA with 84 strikeouts and 34 walks in 87 2/3 innings of work before being cut loose (somewhat ironically, in order to open roster space for former Giants outfielder Mac Williamson to sign with the Lions).

That may all be a relatively unappealing profile at first glance, but Haley has a strong track record in Triple-A, where he’s pitched to a 3.53 with 7.6 K/9 against 2.4 BB/9 in 260 1/3 innings across parts of three seasons (47 starts, two relief outings). He’s typically posted average or better ground-ball tendencies and has limited home runs fairly well, surrendering an average of 0.97 long balls per nine innings pitched.

    i think there’s something here. he has a strong track record in AAA and KBO stats can be misleading.

    Yeah as a big Sox fan I was actually quite happy when the Twins had to return him after the rule 5 pick didn’t work out. I think he could be a legitimate ML pitcher – maybe not anything spectacular but a possible back end starter or swing man definitely.
