Anderson’s MLB Career

Anderson was picked in the 3rd round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
He spent the first two seasons of his career with the San Francisco Giants, appearing in 46 games for the franchise.
In that span, Anderson went 3-5 with a 5.17 ERA.

Anderson was traded to the Minnesota Twins in 2021.
Aaron Gleeman had written (on February 4, 2021): “Twins acquire RHP Shaun Anderson from Giants in exchange for OF LaMonte Wade. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Anderson is a hard-throwing right-handed reliever with a great slider. (And no, we’re not doing another emergency podcast about this deal.)”
Following the Giants and Twins, he had stints with the Baltimore Orioles, San Diego Padres, Miami Marlins, Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays over seven seasons.
Over 85 career games, the 31-year-old has gone 5-7 with a 6.35 ERA.
It will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on Anderson before the end of the 2026 season.
