Amir Garrett Agrees To Minors Deal With Giants
9 months agoFree-agent reliever Amir Garrett agreed to a minor-league deal with the San Francisco Giants on Monday, according to sources. The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training and would pay him $1.35 million if he's in the majors. The 31-year-old left-hander spent last season with the Kansas City Royals, where he posted a 3.33 ERA (5.56 FIP) and 1.73 WHIP with 20 walks and 28 strikeouts in 24 1/3 relief innings. Garrett does have an above-average 26.4 percent career strikeout rate in 325 1/3 career innings at the major-league level, but it's also come with an underwhelming 4.95 ERA (4.92 FIP) and 1.44 WHIP with eight saves over seven seasons with the Royals and Cincinnati Reds. He won't be on the fantasy radar in 2024, even if he makes San Fran's Opening Day roster.
