The San Francisco Giants have officially signed Justin Verlander, necessitating the designation of Blake Sabol for assignment due to roster constraints.
Sabol's future looked bleak after a shift in the team's organizational philosophy from Gabe Kapler to Bob Melvin, focusing more on defensive value.
Under Melvin's management, Sabol's lack of defensive skills as a catcher caused his exclusion from the team's plans, particularly after a poor offensive showing.
Despite his struggles, Sabol may attract interest from other teams due to his offensive potential and two remaining option years.
