SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants are working on a deal to add right-hander Brad Penny to their rotation for the stretch run.
A person with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press on Monday that details still needed to be finalized. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because negotiations with Penny were ongoing.
Penny cleared waivers and would need to sign by Monday to be eligible for postseason play with the Giants. San Francisco, idle on Monday, is tied with Colorado for the NL wild-card lead.
Penny was released by Boston on Thursday after going 7-8 with a 5.61 ERA this season — including 1-6 in his last 11 starts.
