The Giants designated outfielder Wade Meckler for assignment, the club announced to reporters (including Shayna Rubin of The San Francisco Chronicle). They needed to open a 40-man roster spot upon finalizing the Adrian Houser contract this morning.
More to come.
I liked him 🥺
me too, they really should have given him some time last year to see what he’s got
He’ll clear waivers. I can see him contributing next year
hope so
Meh. His batting average in the low minors was great, but he’d have to hit like Luis Arraez in the bigs to make up for the lack of power. I also wasn’t super impressed by his defense in CF.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he made it to the majors as a 4th OF somewhere, though.
Two tools guy.
Hope him the best, but saw it coming.
Hopefully he gets an opportunity with another club.
Meckleheads in shambles 🙁
Next stop; Savanna Bananas.
Brass got tired of wading for him to hit the ball hard.
Anaheim native and Esperanza HS graduate (less than 10 miles from Angel Stadium..
Fourth player from the 2022 draft class to make the majors and the first to do so who wasn’t an Angels draftee (Neto, Joyce, Mederos).
Maybe the Angels can claim Meckler for depth and possibly even continue trying him at 2B like the Giants org did for eight games in 2025.
This team keeps talking about guys who make more contact and they go release a guy with that skill set.
Hes also got a 4th option year for 2026. Should be a trade partner out there. His defense can’t be worse than Ramos’.
If you haven’t. Check out his reddit AMA.. hilarious. He was a joke in sports cards because ppl thought getting his auto card as their “hit” sucked… and he played into it.. it’s great!
Great, now what am I gonna do with my 800 Meckler signed cards? /s IYKYK
