Late on Tuesday night, veteran catcher Curt Casali opted out of his Minor League deal with the Chicago Cubs, and signed a one-year, $1 million Major League deal with the Giants.
Casali is a strong defensive player, much needed by the Giants, who have been struggling defensively ever since Bailey was put on the injured list. Teams have been running all over them, and Casali's arrival aims to slow them down.
Casali brings a mix of talent and sentimentality to the Giants, having previously been Buster Posey's backup during the 2021 season. His return was met with enthusiasm, including a confetti shower upon his arrival at the clubhouse.
Casali texted his friend Mike Yastrzemski about his return, reflecting a positive and welcoming atmosphere within the Giants and showcasing the personal connections between players.
