SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants finished their exhibition game well after 11 p.m. on Monday night. They weren't done for the day.
One minute before midnight, the Giants announced that they traded right-hander Chris Stratton to the Angels in exchange for left-handed reliever Williams Jerez. In a related move, lefty Andrew Suarez was optioned to Triple-A, all but setting the rotation.
Asked after the game if he had an order of starting pitchers, manager Bruce Bochy was coy.
"You'll see why here soon," Bochy said.
A few minutes later the Giants announced they have parted ways with a former first-round pick who seemed headed for the long reliever role.
