"The Giants are in agreement with catcher on a minor league contract, reports Jon Morosi of The MLB Network. The Warner Sports Management client would lock in a $1.6MM base salary if he breaks camp and can opt out at the end of Spring Training if he's not on the MLB roster."
"Haase finished last season in Triple-A with the Brewers. He spent the first half of the season on the big league roster as William Contreras' backup. Milwaukee acquired Danny Jansen in a deadline trade and pushed Haase to Triple-A. He cleared waivers and appeared in 19 minor league contests. He elected free agency at the end of the year."
"The 33-year-old Haase has played parts of eight seasons in the big leagues. He had a two-year run as a #1 option with his hometown Tigers from 2021-22. Haase has otherwise mostly been a backup and combined for 60 appearances with the Brewers over the last two seasons. He has some right-handed power but has plenty of swing and miss. Haase has fanned at a 31% clip while hitting .228/.278/.396 in just under 400 big league contests."
"He's regarded as a fringe defender behind the dish. Haase has a plus arm but hasn't graded highly as a receiver, either framing or blocking balls in the dirt."
Cameron Haase signed a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants that guarantees a $1.6MM Major League salary if he makes the Opening Day roster and permits an opt-out after Spring Training if he is not on the MLB roster. Haase finished last season in Triple-A after serving as William Contreras’ backup; Danny Jansen’s arrival sent him down, he cleared waivers, played 19 minor-league games, and elected free agency. The 33-year-old has eight MLB seasons, including two years as Detroit’s primary catcher. He provides right-handed power but strikes out at a 31% rate and is considered a fringe defender. Patrick Bailey is projected as the primary catcher, with Daniel Susac and Jesus Rodriguez on the 40-man roster and Logan Porter as non-roster depth.
