Wednesday BP: This is a Johnny Cueto appreciation post

Good morning, baseball fans!

The San Francisco Giants are starting to narrow down their 2022 Opening Day roster, and one of their former Opening Day starting pitchers has found a new home, of sorts.

Johnny Cueto was that starter for the 2020 season. There was a pandemic raging, the season had been delayed, and it was the first Opening Day since former ace and forever folk hero Madison Bumgarner signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Cueto on the mound was a bit of the familiar that people craved.

Sadly, Cueto won’t be on any major league rosters for this year’s Opening Day.
