Giants Designate Joe McCarthy

By Connor Byrne | August 20, 2020 at 6:35pm CDT

The Giants announced that they’ve designated outfielder Joe McCarthy for assignment to make room for just-promoted catcher Joey Bart. They also optioned catcher Tyler Heineman.

McCarthy was a 2015 fifth-round pick of the Rays, and though he became a decently regarded prospect with the franchise, he struggled with their Triple-A affiliate last season. Tampa Bay then traded McCarthy to the Giants for lefty Jacob Lopez at last year’s deadline.

During his first action with the San Francisco organization in 2019, McCarthy batted a terrible .165/.247/.241 in 89 Triple-A plate appearances. While he still managed to open 2020 as San Francisco’s starting right fielder, McCarthy was unable to take advantage of the opportunity over a mere 10 PA, as he struck out five times and failed to collect a hit.

        Waste of the Lopez trade. The trade made zero sense then and still doesn’t. SF doesn’t need position players, they need pitching.

      That’s what they want to you to think. Reds have secretly infiltrated the highest levels of baseball.

      He can always play for the minor league team in Eugene, Oregon.

    It’s too bad the political Joe McCarthy has blotted out the memory of one of the best managers in Cubs and Yankees history.
