After a frustrating 2023 season in which he was pushed into a bullpen role for a middling team, veteran pitcher Alex Wood decided this offseason not to re-sign with the San Francisco Giants. Outside of that, he said adjusting hasn't been too complicated so far, and he's enjoying getting to know his new teammates.

If and when Jorge Soler passes his physical, set for Friday, according to club sources, the San Francisco Giants shouldn't have any trouble clearing a spot on the 40-man roster. While their 40-man is currently full, expect reliever Austin Warren to be transferred to the 60-day injured list when the team is ready to finalize its three-year, $42 million agreement with the free-agent designated hitter/outfielder. Warren, who signed a major-league deal Wednesday for just over the league minimum, is still recovering from Tommy John surgery. Almost nine months removed from the operation performed by Dr. Keith Meister last May, the 27-year-old right-hander won't be ready to see game action until after the All-Star break.

The San Francisco Giants' coaching staff got older and whiter, but their clubhouse is younger and more diverse than ever. The club has gone from one interpreter — Erwin Higueros, who doubles as their Spanish-language broadcaster — to three, with Korean outfielder Jung Hoo Lee and Japanese first baseman Yoshi Tsutsugo in camp. It hired Justin Han to interpret for Lee and Seiya Sano for Tsutsugo, a non-roster invitee. A game of telephone between the two players and any given Latin member of the clubhouse would involve four languages.

It was an unfair comparison from the start, but Reggie Crawford will not be the next Shohei Ohtani. The two-way player the Giants selected 30th overall in the 2022 amateur draft is abandoning that path to pursue a one-way track to the major leagues. Crawford, 23, will put down the bat and shift all of his focus to what he can do with his left arm, which can pump triple-digit heaters out of his 6-foot-4 frame. According to Crawford, it was decision he came to recently after “a lot of thinking and weighing the pros and cons.”

As Alex Cobb spoke to reporters Wednesday morning, a steady stream of young pitchers walked by and wished him a good morning. Cobb was an easy target for Webb, and not just because they've been teammates and friends for a couple of seasons. At 36, he easily is the oldest player on the roster and he's one of just two Giants with more than 10 years of service time. As he starts his 13th MLB season, Cobb has two full years on the other one, Wilmer Flores.

Free-agent pitcher Austin Warren has signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants. The team announced the deal Wednesday as spring training began in Scottsdale, Arizona.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — There was much speculation that Wednesday would be the day the dam broke in baseball's glacial free agency. Teams were allowed to transfer players to the 60-day injured list, opening up spots on the 40-man for potential additions without any waiver-wire casualties. The Giants opened one slot, placing one player recovering from Tommy John surgery on the 60-day, and filled it immediately with another. Right-hander Austin Warren will take Robbie Ray's spot on San Francisco's roster, but like Ray, Warren won't be ready to start the season.
