There were no Minor League seasons in 2020, but some San Francisco Giants prospects — and prospects from MLB’s other 29 teams — still got to put in some developmental time. For the coronavirus pandemic-shortened season, MLB instituted alternate training sites, where players in a team’s 60-person player pool, but not on the active roster, could play, develop, and stay ready if the called on them.
