"While he originally signed with the Red Sox as a teenager back in 2016, Santos was flipped to the Giants organization a year later as part of the team's return for infielder Eduardo Nuñez. Santos spent four-plus seasons in the Giants' system before making brief appearances in the majors in both 2021 and 2022. He wound up pitching only 5 2/3 innings as a Giant before being traded again - this time to the White Sox in exchange for minor league righty Kade McClure."
"Santos was a key late-inning arm for the Sox in 2023, totaling a career-high 66 1/3 innings with a 3.39 earned run average, five saves and six holds. He fanned a solid 22.8% of his opponents, walked just 5.9% of the batters he faced and kept a hearty 52.8% of his opponents' batted balls on the ground - all while averaging a blazing 98.9 mph on his sinker."
"Santos spent parts of two seasons with the Mariners but only tallied 14 1/3 innings in the majors, as injuries repeatedly shelved him for extended periods of time. A significant lat strain, biceps inflammation and knee surgery combined to just 26 2/3 innings total - majors and minors combined - during his two seasons with the M's, who non-tendered Santos last month."
Gregory Santos signed a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants and will be a non-roster invitee to major league spring camp. He originally signed with the Red Sox in 2016 and was included in the 2017 trade to the Giants for Eduardo Núñez, later debuting with San Francisco in 2021. Santos logged a career-high 66 1/3 innings for the White Sox in 2023 with a 3.39 ERA, five saves, six holds, a 22.8% strikeout rate and a 98.9 mph average sinker. Injuries limited him to 14 1/3 major-league innings with the Mariners, and he was non-tendered last month.
