I don’t think it works that way. It is more complicated than that. The signing team only loses a pick if the player is signed to a certain level of contract (similar to the NFL structure for pick compensation). And the former team does NOT get that pick. The lost pick is forfeited, and the comp pick is a sandwich pick. Also, the market size for the signing team is a factor in what pick is lost (and I think the market is a factor in what pick is gained by the losing team as well).
If this is so obvious why was LaStella the DH so many days and Joc in LF?
You are asking the wrong Hebrew, alt.
Only a Hebrew can answer this?
Assuming that the image is as you describe, (I believe you, but it is a bit blurry), my guess is that they are testing the image for his visit to the team. Not a leak of a signing that has already happened.It’s probably not very visible in the picture, but I just drove by Oracle Park and the scoreboard is illuminated with NPB star Kodai Senga in a #SFGiants uniform with the #41. It’s been reported #SFGameUpis interested in the free-agent righty and seems like a visit is imminent.

I don't know about that. Its a trend this year to keep the top tier minor league free agents by adding them to the 40 man roster. Quite a few teams are doing that this year.
Díaz and Jason Vosler give the Giants coverage at all of the same positions that La Stella plays. Both hit from the left side AND both have 1 MiLB option remaining. There is a roster redundancy with La Stella, who is owed $11M in 2023.
It will be interesting to see if the Giants jettison anyone tomorrow to add guys to the 40 man roster. I agree that LaStella is a bit redundant, but, as you mention both Vosler and Diaz have options, giving the FO depth to the roster. I guess I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Luciano, at least, will be added to the 40. If he isn’t, the entire FO needs to be DFA’d.
No way that doesn't happen.
They have about 6 hours to do it. It will be interesting to see what they do to make space. tzill may be right that LaStella is gone but it would have to be a dfa. He cannot be non-tendered. That is only for pre-arb and arb eligible players. The whole point of tendering contracts is for guys who are not signed to long term deals (i.e. more than one year).
