Description
The Giants released their 60-man player pool on Monday, and there were a few surprises. A handful of 40-man players were left off, indicating that those players could be at risk of being DFA'd to make room for the non-roster invitees who seem to be in good position to make an Opening Day roster. Pablo Sandoval, Billy Hamiltion, Trevor Cahill, and Yolmer Sánchez were all released then re-signed to minor league deals over the weekend. It was reported that all four were assured they would make the team. In order to add those players to the 40-man roster, San Francisco will have to remove others. On today's show, host Ben Kaspick speculates about which players might be at risk of being DFA'd. He also discusses Hunter Bishop, the Giants' 2019 first-round draft pick, testing positive for COVID-19 and consequently being left off the 60-man player pool for now.
