Giants Sign Guillermo Mota to Minor League Deal

December 19, 2010

Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes is reporting the Giants have signed Guilermo Mota to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

Mota had a decent year in 2010 for the Giants posting a 4.33 ERA and 1.315 WHIP in 56 appearances. If he makes the team his role would probably be limited to an innings eating middle reliever.

The Rays also had reportedly expressed interest in Mota.
