Gets MiLB deal with Dodgers
Giles agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Giles held a showcase May 11 for teams, and the Dodgers must have liked what they saw enough to give the right-hander a chance. Giles is not far removed from being one of the best closers in baseball, but he's missed significant time over the past few seasons due to a variety of arm injuries. Los Angeles will have to add Giles to the 40-man roster in order to have him join the club, but if he pitches well in the minors he could be an option for the Dodgers this summer.

Giles agreed to a two-year, $7 million deal with the Mariners last February despite underdoing Tommy John surgery just a few months prior in October of 2020. Seattle still thought highly enough of the veteran reliever to factor him into their 2022 plans after he racked up 23 saves and 83 strikeouts over 53 innings with the Blue Jays in 2019. Giles began a throwing program in late-July and his velocity will be worth monitoring this spring after sitting in the upper-90s for much of his career. Also worth monitoring will be the effectiveness of his slider, which has historically been his most devastating and whiff-inducing pitch. Assuming the 31-year-old proves he is healthy, the Mariners might be wise to bring him along slowly, as they have a deep and flexible bullpen and don't need to rush him back into high-leverage. Should he eventually work his way into the closer committee, don't expect abundant saves.
