It’s that time of year again. Baseball is back. Pitchers and catchers are reporting. The free agents are signed (well, some are). The cacti are covered in frost (Wait, really?). The math nerds are working on taxes (in more ways than one).
Okay, maybe this year isn’t like most years.
As Grant mentioned yesterday, this year the Giants are about as deadset as ever at staying under the luxury tax to reset the penalties under the CBA. That’s pretty important as they try to win now but also start looking at building the future.
This Spring, the Giants will have seven players competing for the low-salary jobs, and again as Grant said, the veterans signed to minor league deals are going to have a tough time making the cut with the Giants staying under that line, financially.
