How Giants' highest-paid player in 2020 no longer is on team's roster

The move to acquire Zack Cozart and Will Wilson was one of the savviest the Giants have made since Farhan Zaidi took over in 2018, and one of those players, Wilson, will now be part of the player pool this summer.

The other, Cozart, is no longer part of the organization. But because of a quirk in MLB's agreement to restart the season, he will be the highest-paid Giant in 2020.

Because Cozart was released well in advance of a March agreement that prorated salaries in a shortened season, he is still due his original salary, about $12.
