Giants Outright Luis Gonzle Giants Outright Luis Gonzle

cleared waivers this afternoon, Brook Jacoby Jersey and the Giants have sent him outright to Triple-A Sacramento. Because he has le s than three years of MLB service time and has not been outrighted previously in his career, he cannot refuse the a signment. Gonzlez has been in the Giants organization since August 2021, when he was claimed off release waivers from the White Sox. He spent the rest of the season on the injured list with shoulder i sues, making his debut in the Giants system the following spring. He played 11 games at Triple-A, slashing .283/.389/.500 before earning the call to the big league level. The outfielder bounced back and forth between Triple-A and the majors for the rest of the year, ultimately playing 98 games for San Francisco. He looked like a capable bench player if not much else, posting a 95 wRC+, swiping ten bases, and playing below-average defense in the outfield corners. Unfortunately, Gonzlez mi sed the first half of the 2023 season recovering from back surgery, and he has struggled at the plate since his return. In 14 games with Triple-A Sacramento, hes batting .231 with no home runs and a 67 wRC+. His 13.1% walk rate and 18% strikeout rate are impre sive, but he has had no power to speak of. In his first two seasons at Triple-A, he hit 13 home runs acro s 60 games. Last Monday, Gonzlez was designated for a signment amid a flurry of roster moves. was moved to the 60-day IL, and with two newly open spots on the 40-man roster, the Giants selected the contracts of and from Triple-A. While Gonzlez cant decline the outright a signment, this is his seventh season logging at least some minor league action. As a result, hed be eligible for minor league free agency next offseason if the Giants dont select him back onto the 40-man roster before then. Albert Belle Jersey
