Giants: Sam Selman could be bullpen X-factor in 2020
After a strong showing in the minors last year, Sam Selman could be an X-factor in a rebuilt San Francisco Giants bullpen in 2020.
The San Francisco Giants head into 2020 with a considerably weaker bullpen than they had in 2019, at least on paper.
Could Sam Selman be the X-factor who helps the relief corps exceed expectations?
The 29-year-old was signed as a minor league free agent last March after spending the first seven seasons of his professional career in the Kansas City Royals organization.
A brilliant season in the minors eventually earned him his first call-up and he made his MLB debut on Aug. 1, 2019.
