In the last year and a half the San Francisco Giants have proven time and again that they’re not going to do things conventionally. And that is yet again on display.
More than 24 hours after having to submit their player pool ahead of the July 1 start to Spring Training 2.0, the Giants became the last MLB team to release their player pool. Interestingly, the Giants opted to fill just 51 of the 60 spots for now.

There aren’t any surprises in terms of who was added (Cristhian Adames is the closest thing to a surprise, I guess), but there were plenty in terms of who wasn’t.
