Hunter Strickland, Gorkys Hernandez Not Offered Contracts
6 years agoThe San Francisco Giants non-tendered relief pitcher Hunter Strickland and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez on Friday, making them free agents. Strickland served as the closer for a bit in 2018 and also broke his hand punching a door in June after a blown save. Overall, he went 3-5 with a 3.97 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 14 saves and 37 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings. The hard-throwing right-hander can be an effective late-inning weapon, but he doesn't have much fantasy value unless he's closing out games. Hernandez had career highs with 15 home runs and 40 RBI in 142 games in 2018. His mix of speed and power will help him get a job somewhere.
