Key Points:
- The San Francisco Giants have finalized their 26-player Opening Day roster, marking the end of the offseason and preseason.
- Outfielder Luis Matos was designated for assignment, with the team hoping to sneak him through waivers, though chances appear slim.
- Speedy outfielder Jared Oliva made the roster despite limited MLB experience, valued for his base-stealing ability off the bench.
- Backup catcher Daniel Susac made the team, while veteran Eric Haase was released; Jesús Rodríguez is now next in line at catcher.
- The Giants prioritized pitching talent over veteran presence in the bullpen, keeping Keaton Winn and Caleb Kilian while reassigning Michael Fulmer to AAA and placing Joel Peguero and Sam Hentges on the injured list.
