3 SF Giants most likely to be cut in the coming weeks
2. Curt Casali
The Giants reunited with catcher Curt Casali after an injury to Tom Murphy. Casali was a very important part of the team's success back in 2021, so it made sense for the two sides to reunite.
He is definitely a glove first catcher who provides much more value behind the plate than in the batter's box. He sports a .220 average this season which is about what you would expect at this point in his career.
It seems like Casali will remain on the roster until Tom Murphy is ready to return. Murphy has been on the shelf since May with a knee sprain. At the time he was expected to be back in a month or so, but it has been over two months now.
Murphy was not really living up to the 2 year, $8.25 million deal he signed in the offseason. Perhaps the Giants are slow-walking his return because they think Casali may actually be a better option due to his defense.
No matter what, Casali is in a vulnerable place on the roster. He does not provide enough value with his bat and while he is a good catcher, he also has a weak arm that opposing teams are not afraid to challenge. If push comes to shove, the Giants will definitely be willing to release him especially once Murphy is ready to return.
