Ryan Theriot said Wednesday that he's had offers from teams, but it's "not really exactly what I’m looking for playing-time-wise."
"I’ve had some stuff come up, no doubt," Theriot said. "It’s not really exactly what I’m looking for playing-time-wise. That’s where we’re at right now. We’ll see what happens." Theriot is fooling himself if he thinks he can get a starting job, though perhaps he could have a shot somewhere getting some starts against left-handed pitching. Obviously he's not getting what he wants at this point, though, and he's prepared to retire if nothing comes along that entices him. He has also considered becoming an agent. Mar 20 - 10:11 PM

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Ryan Theriot is considering becoming an agent.

Theriot has struggled to attract interest this offseason after posting a weak .270/.316/.321 batting line in 384 plate appearances with the Giants in 2012. The 33-year-old infielder has yet to file his retirement papers.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Ryan Theriot has been talking to the Indians and Rangers.

Theriot is still holding out hope of competing for a starting job somewhere, though, and he wouldn't be able to do that in Cleveland or Texas. At this point, he should just be happy if he gets a guaranteed deal somewhere.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Ryan Theriot is unlikely to return to the Giants.

The veteran infielder is seeking a full-time role, which the Giants don't have available for him. While he desires the increased playing time, he will likely have to settle for a reserve role wherever he ends up.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Rangers are among the teams interested in free agent infielder Ryan Theriot.

Rosenthal also names the Indians as a possibility, so this isn't all that different from a report by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports last month. Theriot, 33, batted .270/.316/.321 with a .637 OPS in 384 plate appearances last season with the Giants. He figures to be used as a backup middle infielder wherever he lands.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Rangers and Indians have expressed interest in Ryan Theriot.

Theriot has also been linked to the Phillies and Giants so far this offseason, but it's not yet clear whether he's received an offer. He batted .270/.316/.321 with a .637 OPS in 384 plate appearances last season and will be used as a backup middle infielder wherever he signs. His fantasy impact should continue to be minimal.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Ryan Theriot went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, accounting for the Giants only run in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.

On a day in which most of the Giant bats were stifled by James McDonald, Theriot came through with a pair of solid singles. He's done a nice job for the Giants over the first half of the season, hitting .280 (58-for-207) with a homer, 19 RBI and eight steals. As long as he's hitting near the top of the lineup and playing every day, he does have some value as a middle infield option in deeper mixed leagues.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Ryan Theriot is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals.

We're assuming he's just getting the day off. D.C. native Emmanuel Burriss will make the start at second base and bat second against right-hander Edwin Jackson.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Ryan Theriot went 3-for-5, drove in two runs and stole a base Monday against the Angels.

It was his second straight three-hit game, raising his average from .250 to .275. Theriot is a weak option as a regular second baseman at this point of his career, but the Giants seem to like what he offers. He'll remain a fixture for a few more weeks at least.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Ryan Theriot went 3-for-3 with an RBI double Friday in the victory over the Cubs.

Theriot finally did something to justify all of the playing time he's been getting since he came off the DL. He entered the day at .203/.250/.243 in 74 at-bats.

Ryan Theriot - 2B - Giants

Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Ryan Theriot could be his regular second baseman going forward.

Theriot didn't start Thursday because Bochy thought he might be tired after a long flight from Arizona, where he was working out in extended spring training. He will be in the lineup Friday, and it sounds like he'll play ahead of the struggling Emmanuel Burriss most days. "We need another bat in the lineup," Bochy said. "He's a proven hitter. ... What's going to be important for us is getting production everywhere."
