SAN FRANCISCO–Before taking off for spring workouts in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Giants opened up Oracle Park so the public could meet members of a 2019 roster that will soon take shape.
The franchise’s fans spent Saturday’s FanFest asking if that roster will include new names in the near future. So too did many of the Giants’ key players.
“With some opportunities out there to add a couple of more guys and seeing what’s going on within the division, I think it would be smart to pounce right now,” pitcher Jeff Samardzija said.
Pitchers and catchers report to the team’s Arizona complex Tuesday, but more than 80 free agents including star outfielder Bryce Harper remain available.
