Ahead of Monday’s game, the Giants announced that they had claimed Eric Cerantola from the Kansas City Royals.
The Giants wrote (via X): “The #SFGiants made the following roster moves today: • RHP Eric Cerantola claimed off waivers from Kansas City and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. • RHP Gregory Santos cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.”
• RHP Eric Cerantola claimed off waivers from Kansas City and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
• RHP Gregory Santos cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.
Cerantola is in the middle of his rookie year in the MLB.
He has appeared in four games with the Royals (and has a 10.13 ERA).
Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Jeff Young: “Eric Cerantola has a 3.59 ERA and a 12.0 K/9 in 6 MiLB seasons. He throws a mid 80’s slider that gets a lot of swing-and-miss but with below-average control. Nice upside if the control can improve.”
@ImNotHuman123: “Per transaction log, Giants claim RHP Eric Cerantola. Cerantola was DFA’d by the Royals on Thursday. Added to the 40-man at the 2024 R5 deadline, so he still has an option year left. Debuted this year. Good slider with a not very good fastball that only sits 95. Command issues”
Raising Royals: “We thank Eric for his contributions to the organization since he was drafted in 2021 and wish him the best with the Giants!”
@June15th2025: “Good news? He’s a pitcher. bad news? over 10 ERA. At least this means Buster knows they need pitching”
