They were known as “The Core 4” of the bullpen, fans cheered on when these four pave the way for the San Francisco Giants to win. Now, the bullpen has been a live train wreck to watch these days. It all started in the second half of the 2016 season which included 32 blown saves and one heart-breaking loss to the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS.
Looking forward to a fresh start and leaving 2016 in the dust, spring training came around and the Giants hoped to turn around the bullpen with Hunter Strickland, Derek Law, Josh Osich, and Cory Gearrin.
