MLB teams have reportedly expressed interest in signing Ken Giles to a minor league deal.
Fantasy Impact
Giles struggled in Triple-A for the Braves organization last season. He'll look to work his way back to the majors with another team if he gets the opportunity.
Ken Giles signed a minor league deal with the Braves with an invite to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
Giles has dealt with numerous injuries the past few seasons. He did not pitch last season and only made five appearances the year prior. He'll look to earn his way into the Braves bullpen.
Ken Giles has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Giles has thrown just eight innings since the beginning of 2020 due to various arm injuries. He threw a live bullpen session to interested teams last Friday and the Dodgers liked what they saw. He could find his way to the Dodgers at some point this season if all goes well.
Free agent reliever Ken Giles is set to hold a throwing session for interested teams on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Injuries -- including Tommy John surgery -- have essentially wiped out each of Giles' last three seasons as he's pitched just eight MLB innings since the start of 2020. His last full season was sheer dominance, however, as he worked to a 1.87 ERA and 39.9% K% while saving 23 games across 53 appearances for the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays. With at least 15 teams expected to attend his workout, it's reasonable to expect Giles to land at least a minor-league deal with an invite to MLB spring training.
Ken Giles was designated for assignment Friday by the Seattle Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Giles appeared in just five games for the Mariners this season, but was placed on IL in early July with right shoulder tightness. The 31-year-old was on a rehab assignment working his way back but it does not appear the Mariners had plans to bring him back into the fold. Fantasy managers should feel safe moving on from Giles.
