Spring Training Update: Giants Sign Trevor Cahill

The Giants today signed RHP Trevor Cahill to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.  Cahill has been around the block a few times, so it's hard to believe he is still just 32 years old.  He's had his ups and downs both as a SP and RP and is coming off a particularly difficult year with the Angels with whom he posted a 5.98 ERA.  But in 2018, he had a strong season for the A's with an ERA of 3.76 so a bounceback is definitely possible.  The main culprit in his 2019 performance seems to be a sharp drop in his groundball rate which led to a whopping 25 HR allowed in just 102.1 IP.  If he can correct that, Cahill can be a valuable back-end SP or multi-inning RP.  Nice low risk/high reward signing here.
