Sam Huff, claimed off waivers from Texas, will compete for the backup catcher role. His history of power potential can be beneficial if given the opportunity.

Sam Huff, a former top catching prospect for the Rangers, was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants, marking a significant shift in his career trajectory as he seeks new opportunities with a different organization.

Sam Huff, once a highly regarded catching prospect for the Rangers, has struggled to find consistent playing time in the majors since his debut. After being a top 100 prospect and showcasing significant power in the minors, his opportunities dwindled, leading to just three games played last season. With the Rangers acquiring Kyle Higashioka, Huff's role was further diminished, prompting his designation for assignment and subsequent claim by the Giants.
