SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In a move that was expected, the Giants optioned catcher Andrew Susac to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, not only meaning Trevor Brown has made the team as Buster Posey’s backup, but also getting the roster down to 25 players a week before Opening Day.
The roster in place is likely to start the season at Milwaukee next Monday, but manager Bruce Bochy stressed that moves could be made.
The Giants will examine players placed on the waiver wire and released by other teams to see if they fit better than players currently on the roster.
