It will be interesting to see if another team makes a claim on Brennan.
There is also the chance that he returns to the Giants on a new Minor League deal.
Social Media Reacts To Brennan News

Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Jeff Young: “It is another minor move, but committing a 40-man roster spot for Will Brennan just felt unnecessary. I won’t pull up all the names, but there were better players (Mike Tauchman) who signed around the same time as Brennan and only got minor league deals.”
Alex Pavlovic: “Lefty Reiver Sanmartin is back from rehab, Tristan Beck was optioned. Will Brennan DFA’d to clear a roster spot.”
