Giants Spring Training Camp: Big Moves and Tough Cuts
The Giants spring training camp is heating up, with Opening Day just around the corner. On Thursday, top prospect Bryce Eldridge and others were optioned to triple-A Sacramento, dashing any hopes of him breaking camp with the big club.
On Friday, three non-roster invitees were reassigned to minor league camp: outfielder Victor Bericoto, pitcher Gregory Santos, and infielder Osleivis Basabe. Bericoto had a standout spring, but his unsustainable stats and limited triple-A time led to his demotion.
Santos showed rust after injuries, but his triple-digit fastball and past control make him a future bullpen stud. Basabe flashed gold glove defense and a hot bat, but backup spots are locked.
With only 39 players remaining in big league camp, including 5 non-roster guys, more cuts are expected by Wednesday. Stay tuned for any surprise returns before the Netflix opener.
