While the SF Giants defeated the Colorado Rockies 9-8 in Friday’s spring training matchup, the team might have suffered a blow to its bullpen depth. Right-handed pitcher Dedniel Núñez has been one of the bright spots early in the preseason. Selected by the Giants in last offseason’s Rule 5 Draft from the New York Mets organization, Núñez has been explosive thus far, reaching the high-90s with his fastball alongside an intriguing slider.
