Giants Claim Two Players From Rangers

The San Francisco Giants continue their busy offseason.

The Giants have claimed catcher Meibrys Viloria off of waivers from the Texas Rangers.

The twenty-five-year-old catcher appeared in just 26 games this past season for the Rangers, slashing .159/.280/.270, with two home runs, five RBIs and 10 runs scored. 

For his career, Viloria holds a .201 batting average, with three home runs and 24 RBIs over 93 games. He'll add some extra catching depth for the Giants.

Additional roster moves for the Rangers:

The Giants have also claimed pitcher Drew Strotman off of waivers from the Rangers.

Strotman got passed around this past season, spending time with the Minnesota Twins organization before being claimed by the Rangers and, now, the Giants. He still did not make a single appearance in the majors in 2022.

Strotman spent the entire season at the Triple-A level, where he posted an ugly 6.32 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, and 63 strikeouts over 52.2 innings.

He was a fourth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2017 MLB Draft, but has yet to make his major league debut.
