Opening Day of the Hot Stove League was barely starting when the Giants made news by acquiring two players on waiver claims: Reiver Sanmartin LHP and Justin Dean CF. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Giants designated Mason Black RHP for assignment. Let's take a closer look at the newest Giants:
Reiver Sanmartin LHP. DOB: 4/15/1996. 6' 2", 160 lbs. 1 Option.
AAA: 7-2, 3.34, 67.1 IP, 7.35 K/9, 2.41 BB/9, 2.88 GB/FB.
MLB: 0-0, 0.00, 1.2 IP, 2 K, 1 BB, 1.50 GB/FB.
Sanmartin kicked around the Reds organization without a lot of success at the MLB level. The most MLB action he saw was in 2022 when he pitched 57 innings with an ERA of 6.32. At the minor league level his elite groundball rate makes up for his relatively low K rate.
Justin Dean CF. DOB: 12/6/1996. B-R, T-R. 5' 8", 185 lbs. 3 Options.
AAA: .289/.378/.431, 6 HR, 27 SB, 11.2 BB%, 23.6 K%, 347 PA.
MLB: .000/.000/.000, 2 PA's.
If the name sounds familiar, Dean was on the Dodgers postseason roster that just won the World Series. He is a slap and dash guy who is a plus defender in CF. Interesting add to a 40 man roster that is already logjammed with multiple fringy MLB outfielders.
