The San Francisco Giants opened Spring Training with three Carsons in camp. They now have none. On Sunday, ahead of their split-squad games (one of which is available on KNBR, the other on MLB TV), the team announced that right-handed pitchers Carson Seymour and Carson Ragsdale had both been optioned.
It’s a very unsurprising move, as optioning the righty Carsons was always a matter of “when” not “if.” The two starting pitchers were the Giants lone Rule 5 protections this offseason, which means the Giants certainly value them ... but it also means that they have no MLB experience.
