Yeah you’re cutting an OF when Tauchman comes back anyway so why not just claim him over Jankowski and try to sneak him through later? Who knows, an injury can even lead to playing time and a need.
Yeah Canario didn't really make sense the first time since we had 5 healthy OFs on MLB deals and it would be hard to roster him, but now that there is an injury and the DH spot is pretty open, it makes sense.
That's why I never really understood the Taylor signing. You would be able to find some defensive first OF towards the end of camp/around now. Heck, we picked up Jankowski lol
Probably just holding off until they have to finalize the roster. Think they just picked him for insurance incase there were injuries or found someone to dump Marte on.
