Lex, he would have to be put on the 40 man. That means that he would have to stay on it.
From all accounts he has a big league glove right now. He’ll be at Sacramento next year. Brinson seems like another Mike Ford or Stuart Fairchild. Makes you wonder about the Giants scouts who patrol the minor leagues.

Yes.  Belt will be going on 60.  So, spot open.  He will still have. 3 options, I believe. That’s ‘23-25.  Plenty of protection.

I have seen other organizations fast track.  Giants may need to think of that in ‘23. Particularly if they sit out the upper FA market.  Which given their lack of and everyday “core” players, may be the right thing to do.

I’m repeating myself, but no half measures.  If they go into the FA market, go big or go home.  If they are going to rebuild, then start fast tracking.

Belt to 60 day IL.  Giants acquire Jose Rojas from the Angels to fill Belt’s spot on the 40 man.  Rojas is hitting .125 in the bigs this year.  He will play for Sacramento.

Note:  The Angels also designated Steven Duggar for assignment.  Duggar cleared waivers and opted to become a free agent rather than accept an assignment to the Angels minor league system.

I will admit to being tired of the churn. My guess is Wood will end up on 60.  There certainly is no reason to have him pitch again this year. Like to see Tristan Beck put on 40 and given a few starts.

Beck 5-8 and 5.64 ERA at Sac.

Rather than Beck, I’d like to see Hjelle for several starts to see if he is a possibility for next season.  He is already on the 40 man roster.

Sean Hjelle 6-8 4.92 ERA at Sac.

Beck has been pretty solid since mid- July. He got off to a terrible start.

I’d be fine with Hjelle as  well. But I think the Giants have soured on him. Or, at least determined that he’s more suited for the bullpen.

Really don’t like bullpen games.  Ever. But particularly now.
