Giants claim Camilo Doval LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
We’re surprised too, Camilo. But, uh, not *too* surprised.
The San Francisco Giants acquired pitcher Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees in a trade that occurred after the MLB deadline last year. The trade included Jesus Rodriguez, Parks Harber, Trystan Vrieling, and Carlos De La Rosa in exchange for Doval. This move marks the Giants' record for the most players used in a single season, surpassing the previous mark of 71 set by Atlanta in the previous year.
Doval, who previously played for the Pirates, has struggled with his performance in New York, posting a 4.82 ERA and a 4.10 FIP in 18.2 innings during the previous season, and a 4.54 ERA and a 4.61 FIP in 39.2 innings this year. Despite these setbacks, Doval still possesses a fastball with velocity above 98 mph and an effective slider.
He remains under team control for 2027, making him a valuable asset for the Giants, especially considering the cost of acquiring a closer or a reliable reliever on the open market.
