San Francisco Giants Release Gordon Beckham, Roster Battles Get Narrowed Down

Gordon Beckham made an early feature in the potential roster spot battles this spring, but really hasn’t done much since. With how well others ahead of him have done this spring, he didn’t have much of a chance to make the San Francisco Giants roster.

Beckham joined the team at the end of last season to help provide some bench depth when Eduardo Nuñez got hurt. He didn’t do a whole lot, as Connor Gillaspie clearly won his spot ahead of him.

Now it seems as if his time was headed towards the expiration date. The Giants felt that way, and so did he.
