Giants Claim Jose Godoy From Mariners

By Mark Polishuk | March 13, 2022 at 3:50pm CDT

The Giants have claimed catcher Jose Godoy off waivers from the Mariners, as announced by both clubs.  Godoy made his MLB debut last season, appearing in 16 games with Seattle and receiving 40 plate appearances.

With Buster Posey now enjoying retirement, the Giants are heading into the 2022 season with star prospect Joey Bart set to take a larger share of duties behind the plate, and veteran Curt Casali is still on hand to either work in a timeshare with Bart or in a backup capacity.  San Francisco was lacking, however, in any other catchers with Major League experience, so while Godoy doesn’t have a lengthy big league resume, he can still provide the Giants with some depth at the Triple-A level.

An international signing for the Cardinals back in 2011, Godoy had spent his entire career in the St. Louis farm system before inking a minor league deal with the Mariners last winter.  Godoy has hit .276/.357/.366 over his 2063 career PA in the minors, with his offensive production slightly ticking upward over the last couple of seasons, though that could also be a function of Godoy being a slightly older player (he turned 27 in October) playing against generally younger competition.

    Giants need catching depth. Don’t know this guy, but with Casali having a poor offensive season last year and Joey Bart an unknown factor . . .

    His minor league stats aren’t bad, albeit without much power. Worth a shot.

    I liked Godoy. A lot better than Tuffy Goswich.

    Good for them! Made NO sense for M’s to carry FOUR catchers and Godoy by far the weakest of the lot! Now that there is room on the roster, WHEN are we gonna ADD somebody? Freeman, Bryant, trade for Matt Olson, SOMEBODY! Trader Jerry has become Comatose Jerry!

      Much prefer signing a big name than giving up prospects for one.

      You do know there hasn’t been much movement in big signings for anyone yet?Plus we got Robbie Ray and Adam Frazier pre-lockdown. I’m as anxious as any fan for any times to get some deals locked down. Can’t throw ‘Trader Jerry’ under the bus yet.
