The San Francisco Giants beat the Oakland Athletics 3-0 on Tuesday night to close out Spring Training, but the most important part of the night came after the game had ended when Bruce Bochy made some major announcements about the team’s Opening Day roster.
After Jeff Samardzija and Madison Bumgarner sustained injuries on back-to-back days last week, another Giants pitcher, and possibly two, may soon be joining them on the disabled list.
Fifteen years after he managed his last ballgame with the Orange and Black, Dusty Baker is once again a San Francisco Giant. The organization made the announcement on Monday morning, that Baker will rejoin the club as a special advisor to CEO Larry Baer.
It wasn’t long ago that Madison Bumgarner made a speedy recovery from a serious injury. Because of that, Henry Schulman told Gary & Larry that it’s not impossible for Bumgarner to do the same with his current injury.
In light of losing Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija to the disabled list, Derek Holland reportedly will replace Jarrett Parker, who was designated for assignment, on the 25-man roster.
