Giants Re-Sign Raymond Burgos To Minors Contract

Raymond Burgos' first career K

The Giants signed Raymond Burgos to a new minor league contract earlier this month, as per the left-hander’s MLB.com profile page.  Burgos elected minor league free agency after the season, but he’ll now return for what will be his third season in San Francisco’s organization.

An 18th-round pick for Cleveland in the 2016 draft, Burgos didn’t make his pro debut until 2018 due to Tommy John surgery.  He entered minor league free agency after the 2022 campaign and caught on with the Giants for the first time that winter.  The Giants parted ways with the southpaw last fall and Burgos caught on with a Mexican League team, only to rejoin the Giants on a new minors deal last April.

This reunion led to Burgos’ first and only appearance at the big league level.  The 26-year-old left-hander allowed a run on three hits in his lone inning of relief work in San Francisco’s 5-4 win over the Cubs.  Soon after that debut appearance, the Giants designated Burgos for assignment and then outrighted him off their 40-man roster.

Working mostly as a reliever during his career in the minors, Burgos has posted solid numbers, including a 3.38 ERA, 22% strikeout rate, 7.5% walk rate in 48 Triple-A innings.  Burgos’ lack of standout strikeout ability could be hampering his path to the bigs, but he has been consistently effective at retiring same-sided batters.  Taylor Rogers and Erik Miller are slated to be the top left-handers out of the Giants’ bullpen, and it makes sense that the team would add to this depth (for at least the Triple-A level) with a known quantity in Burgos.
