What Giants roster looked like last time entire team was together

When the Giants took the field for the first time back in February, they had 72 players on their spring roster. They whittled that down over the next month, getting to 50 with a round of four cuts two days before the sport shut down because of the coronavirus, and later revealing that two more players had been optioned and two non-roster invitees had been released.

They'll return to the field next week, and in some ways, the roster race will start over. One of the last two players optioned -- Shaun Anderson -- was supposed to start the year in Triple-A but makes a lot of sense, as a former starter, for a pitching staff filled with interchangeable pieces.
