The Opener: Griffin, Rangers, Roster Moves
"Yesterday, it was reported that left-hander Foster Griffin has received major league offers, including at least one multi-year offer. A former first-round pick by the Royals, the southpaw has just eight innings of MLB experience but enjoyed a brilliant campaign in Japan this year, with a 1.62 ERA and a 25.1% strikeout rate in 78 innings of work for Nippon Professional Baseball's Yomiuri Giants."
"The Rangers made official a pair of previously reported free agent signings yesterday when they announced the additions of catcher Danny Jansen and left-hander Tyler Alexander. Jansen replaces in Texas's catching tandem alongside Kyle Higashioka, while Alexander adds another lefty to the club's bullpen to complement setup man Robert Garcia. At 11am local time today, president of baseball operations Chris Young and GM Ross Fenstermaker will be holding a press conference over Zoom to discuss the club's latest signings with reporters."
Left-hander Foster Griffin has received multiple major league offers, including at least one multi-year offer. Griffin is a former first-round pick with only eight Major League innings but posted a 1.62 ERA and a 25.1% strikeout rate in 78 innings for NPB's Yomiuri Giants. Griffin has spoken with eight different teams and a deal could come together soon. The Texas Rangers announced signings of catcher Danny Jansen and left-hander Tyler Alexander; Jansen joins Kyle Higashioka in the catching tandem and Alexander adds a left-handed option to the bullpen. Several clubs that signed free agents currently have full 40-man rosters and must clear space before adding the newcomers.
