Giants Select Trevor Gott

By Connor Byrne | April 19, 2021 at 4:59pm CDT

The Giants have selected the contract of right-hander Trevor Gott, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group was among those to report. The club also recalled left-hander Sam Selman and optioned outfielder Steven Duggar and catcher Chadwick Tromp. With hurlers Jake McGee and Logan Webb on the COVID list, the Giants won’t have to make a corresponding 40-man move to clear room for Gott.

Gott and Selman will give the Giants’ bullpen a pair of fresh arms after their relievers totaled 11 2/3 innings over the weekend in the team’s three-game series against the Marlins. The 28-year-old Gott was a regular in San Francisco’s bullpen in each of the previous two seasons, but the club designated him for assignment in February and then retained him after he cleared waivers.

In 2019, his first season with the Giants, Gott threw 52 2/3 innings of 4.44 ERA ball, but he finished with a more palatable 3.73 SIERA and posted above-average strikeout and walk percentages of 26.6 and 7.9, respectively. Gott wasn’t able to build on the positives last season, though, as he yielded 13 earned runs on 13 hits (including seven homers) across 11 2/3 frames. He also ended the year with as many walks as strikeouts (eight).

    Congrats Phillies. You’ll be down by 3 and the ninth and score 4 because Kapler will bring in Gott who’ll give up a grand slam.

      Yea but it was calculated, they were trying to create a trade chip out of nothing. To be clear I am no fan of the bullpen management since kapler and Zaidi have taken over a lot is to be desired from the on field tactics they use regularly. But Fz has rebuilt the farm to being respectable while allowing the beloved vets to play out their contracts with class. The stats and BP management has a long way to go, the only thing saving them is the fact they lack quality arms altogether. They were trying to flex gott last year and ended up misfiring altogether but if he was nails he could have brought them back something comparable to what we got for dyson. Thank heavens we as fans avoided that implosion and the giants got something out of it!

        Well, in WWE, R-Truth used to tell opponents they were going to “get got!” I guess the Giants listened to him and got Gott…

    Zaidi needs to focus on offense; get some real hitters. The current offense can’t get above the Mendoza Line.

        That’s Zaidi’s problem and what he’s getting paid to do. He’s the so called “genius.”

          Second best record in all of baseball right now. Seems like he’s doing an alright job at what he’s paid to do.

      Patience. This was a MLB top 5 offense last year. The real surprise is the rotation and the real fear is the bullpen.

    My first thought was ‘why?’. But then saw that as soon as McGee and Webb come back, Gott will go back down, and I breathed a little easier.

      yeah I wonder if they are keeping him around in case a starter goes down to fill in the rotation, if wood wasn’t coming off the IL I would thing Tropeano would be the guy to com in ahead of kazmir

    Don’t understand the negativity on the Giants, they are playing good ball despite being in the same division as LAD & Pads. Gausman continues where he left off, DeSclafani has been brilliant, Cueto before IL has been very good, Webb looks solid. McGee solid. So the bats are a bit quiet but they are winning…..

      it’s because people hate the giants for some reason, even when they were winning WS ring people complained that they weren’t a good team
