SF Giants are still in the playoff picture. Could they use some of the Angels’ discarded players?
SAN FRANCISCO — The Los Angeles Angels responded to Shohei Ohtani’s UCL injury and team’s fall out of the playoff picture with a stunning salary dump fire sale.
Because they wouldn’t have to offer up any assets in exchange, it’d be worth the Giants exploring jumping into the waiver claim line for one of the listed players if they’re adamant about making a postseason push. Their mediocre record may give them an edge over other contenders. So, technically, the Oakland A’s — with the worst MLB record — could claim all the players on waivers. But why would a tanking team do that? The San Diego Padres, Miami Marlins and perhaps the Cincinnati Reds are the likely contenders with worse records than the Giants.
