This morning, the San Francisco Giants optioned RHP Tristan Beck and OF Wade Meckler to Triple-A Sacramento as part of a cutdown before the final week of Spring Training games. That’s half of an interesting development. The other half helps us bring the Opening Day roster into better focus.
The other players to get cut, per Maria Guardado, were non-roster invitees 1B/DH Jake Lamb (mentioned as a dark horse candidate to make the team in this post from yesterday), catcher Logan Porter (who co-starred in Susan Slusser’s profile of left-handed pitcher Joey Lucchesi as a sort of “churve”-catching expert), and left-handed pitcher Enny Romero.
