The San Francisco Giants have signed former Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ryan Borucki to a one-year contract. Borucki, an 8-year MLB veteran, will help bolster the Giants’ bullpen, which has been hit hard by injuries this spring training.
Why it matters
The Giants’ bullpen has been depleted by injuries, particularly when it comes to left-handed relievers. Borucki’s signing provides much-needed depth and experience to the Giants’ relief corps as they look to compete in the NL West.
The details
Borucki, 31, began his career as a starter with the Blue Jays in 2018 before transitioning to a bullpen role. He struggled last season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, posting a 5.28 ERA, but excelled in a brief return to Toronto, not allowing a run in 4 1/3 innings. The Giants are hoping Borucki can regain his form and provide a steady left-handed presence in their bullpen behind Erik Miller.

What’s next
The Giants will look to Borucki to provide steady left-handed relief out of the bullpen as they navigate through the early part of the season with several key relievers sidelined by injury.
The takeaway
Borucki’s signing is an under-the-radar move that could pay dividends for the Giants, as they seek to bolster their bullpen depth and find reliable left-handed options to complement their right-handed relievers.
