In the "only because Taub Sports asked category," the Giants revealed that they released OF Tyler Graham on May 7. He was designated for assignment on May 1. The Giants had a 10-day window for another team to claim him, release him or outright him back to the minors.
I started making inquiries about Graham after that 10-day period elapsed, because there was no posting on the MLB or Giants transaction wire. Notice (if it is still up) that the most recent entry (listed after 5/15/12), is the Graham release entry on 5/07/12.
On Monday, Arizona signed Graham. He has yet to be activated or assigned anywhere.
Also, the A's claimed P Travis Blackley off waivers. Blackley was DFA'd on 5/13/12, to clear room for P Jeremy Affeldt's activation from the DL. Blackley was out of options, thus forcing the DFA transaction. Because this was Blackley's second time being DFA'd in his career, had the additional choice of free agency.
The A's activated Blackley, and he is on the 25-man roster.
