With Opening Day just two days away, the San Francisco Giants have made another round of camp cuts, getting the roster closer and closer to being set. Prior to their preseason finale against the Oakland A’s, the team announced that utility player Blake Sabol had been optioned, while outfielder Ismael Munguia, right-handed starting pitcher Mason Black, and left-handed reliever Juan Sánchez had been reassigned to Minor League camp.
Sabol was always a long shot to make the roster out of camp, after the team signed Tom Murphy in free agency. Some AAA seasoning will do him some good after the Rule 5 Draft rules forced the Giants to keep him on the roster all year.
