What an exciting time.
The Giants farm is likely to get a tiny bit stronger this week thanks to the presumed return of right-handed reliever Nick Avila.
San Francisco lost nine players in December’s Rule 5 Draft. Eight of those nine players were taken in the Minor League portion, with one — Avila — selected in the Major League portion by the Chicago White Sox.
But on Sunday, the White Sox informed Avila that he will not make the Opening Day roster.
