26, so far

The roster seems to be shaping up. It looks like Mitch Haniger will start the season on the IL. Austin Slater is also a question mark for Opening Day. That opens up a spot for switch-hitting 2017 6th-round pick Bryce Johnson who is known for his speed and his CF glove. Catcher/outfielder Blake Sabol will likely get the nod as well. Roberto Pérez will make the team as the backup backstop and Joey Bart will be the starting catcher. Sabol is a lefty hitter and I can't say if the Giants have plans for him at catcher but he's had a good spring and impressed the bosses.
