Since reliever Wandy Peralta has one minor league option remaining, the decision on whether he makes the San Francisco Giants roster extends beyond on-field performance. Flexibility is a factor as well, and that comes with having options.
Peralta is joined by Tony Watson, Jerry Blevins, Sam Selman, and Jarlin Garcia as southpaws vying for a spot in the bullpen.
From this group, Watson is the only one with a guaranteed roster spot when the season begins. Blevins was brought in on a minor league pact, so he has to earn his spot on club, and the same goes for 40-man roster member Selman, Garcia, and Peralta.
