Spring training is almost over! Monday brings the Cactus League finale for the Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants, as well as the second of two Bay Bridge Series exhibitions being held down in Arizona.
The A’s Opening Day roster is basically set, except for the fill-in fifth starter, as Rule 5 draft pick Ka’ai Tom got the last outfield spot and righty Burch Smith completes the bullpen. Today’s game is just a tune-up at this point, with nothing left to decide among the players on the field. Sean Manaea takes the mound, but he’s already locked into the rotation.
