The White Sox acquired catcher Blake Sabol from the Red Sox for cash considerations, adding depth at the position. Sabol, who has had limited success in the majors and minors this year, was outrighted off Boston’s roster and could serve as a backup or injury fill-in for Chicago's young catchers. His past offensive performance and potential controllability until 2030 make this a strategic depth move for the White Sox.
The Red Sox traded catcher Blake Sabol to the White Sox for cash, reducing their Triple-A catching depth and likely prompting a new addition from outside the organization.
The San Francisco Giants lost 5-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of their 13-game tour of NL West rivals, despite threatening in the eighth and ninth innings. Starter Anthony DeSclafani had a promising performance spoiled by Arizona's efficient Ryne Nelson, who rode his change-up through seven innings. A base-running gaffe by Blake Sabol popped the rally bubble in the eighth, and a well-struck ground-out by Thairo Estrada with two runners on sealed the loss. The Giants have been resilient and will face Toronto on Tuesday.
San Francisco Giants' rookie Blake Sabol narrated a funny encounter with a fan who found him playing Guitar Hero at an arcade in Ghirardelli Square. Sabol, who spent four years in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization before being chosen by the Cincinnati Reds in the 2022 MLB Rule 5 Draft and later traded to the Giants, made his big league debut on March 30 against the New York Yankees. The versatile catcher and outfielder is enjoying his first season in the big leagues after batting .348/.475/.630 in 20 games during spring training.
The San Francisco Giants lost 7-5 to the Milwaukee Brewers, failing to complete a four-game series sweep. Starting pitcher Alex Cobb allowed seven runs over the first two innings, but the Giants battled back, scoring one run in the third inning and four in the seventh. The loss capped off a 5-2 road trip for the Giants, who will return to Oracle Park as a team above .500 for the first time this season.
Rookie catcher Blake Sabol hit a walk-off homer to dead center field to give the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The homer came off closer Ryan Helsley, who entered with a 2.08 ERA and possesses one of the best fastballs in MLB history. Sabol, who is only a Giant because he wasn't put on the Pittsburgh Pirates 40-man roster in the offseason, was starting Tuesday's bullpen game because more experienced options like Roberto Perez and Joey Bart are hurt.
The San Francisco Giants continued their streak of starting a different player in left field on Opening Day for the 17th consecutive year, tying the second-longest such streak in MLB history. The streak began in 2007, the year after Barry Bonds left the team, and has been filled with a mix of aging veterans and younger, unestablished players. Rookie Blake Sabol made his MLB debut in left field for the Giants on Thursday, but went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being substituted out.
