Giants DFA Shaw, Garcia to make way for four prospects - a podcast by Locked on Podcast Network, Ben Kaspick

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants' decision on Friday to add four prospects to their 40-man roster in order to protect them from this December's Rule 5 Draft. In corresponding moves, the Giants DFA'd Chris Shaw, Aramis Garcia, and Jordan Humphreys. Added to the 40-man were outfielder Alexander Canario and right-handed pitchers Gregory Santos, Camilo Doval, and Kervin Castro. Canario is considered by most to be one of the Giants' Top 10 prospects, although he dislocated his left shoulder a few weeks ago and required surgery. Santos, Doval, and Castro are seemingly going to be high upside bullpen options for the Giants as soon as next year. Shaw, a former first-round pick by the Giants, never caught on with the new regime. Garcia was behind Buster Posey, Joey Bart, and arguably Chadwick Tromp on the Giants' catcher depth chart.
