SF Giants Outright Ryan McKenna and Jakson Reetz; Lose Veteran P Drew Pomeranz to Free Agency
The SF Giants clarified the statuses of Ryan McKenna, Jakson Reetz, and Drew Pomeranz, with Pomeranz opting for free agency. McKenna and Reetz accepted minor league assignments, while Pomeranz left the team for free agency. Pomeranz's stint with the Giants was short, signing a major league deal in May but not pitching before being placed on waivers. Reetz, a versatile player, returned to Sacramento, filling a catching depth gap in May. McKenna, acquired from the Orioles, provided outfield support before heading to Sacramento.
By the Numbers- Pomeranz elected free agency after a brief stint with the Giants.
- Reetz posted an .242/.392/.484 line with two home runs and 13 RBIs in 80 plate appearances at Sacramento.
While the Giants addressed some roster gaps with these moves, Pomeranz's departure leaves a gap for a lefty reliever.
State of Play- Ryan McKenna, Jakson Reetz, and Drew Pomeranz's statuses have been resolved by the Giants.

The Giants may need to explore options for a lefty reliever following Pomeranz's departure.
Bottom LineThe SF Giants solidified their roster by retaining McKenna and Reetz, but the departure of Pomeranz leaves a gap that needs filling, particularly for a lefty reliever.
