SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants added off-field depth by LaMonte Wade Jr. of the Minnesota Twins for right-hander Shaun Anderson.
The team announced the move hours after completing a $ 18.75 million three-year deal with versatile striker Tommy La Stella. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said during the discussion of the La Stella agreement that he hopes to add a left-handed fielder. Wade can play all three positions.
Wade, 27, batted .231 in 16 games for the Twins last season while also playing at the club’s alternative training ground. He has appeared in 42 major league games since making his debut in 2019. He was a ninth round in the 2015 amateur run from Maryland.
Anderson, 26, did not make a decision on 18 emergency relief during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and ended up with an ERA of 3.52.
