Here is Action News Now coverage of the Giants and Padres game, plus info on roster changes
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The San Francisco Giants have made significant changes to their roster after a series of disappointing performances. On Tuesday, Buster Posey hinted at potential moves, and by Wednesday, they were in motion.
LaMonte Wade Jr. and Sam Huff were designated for assignment, while Christian Koss was optioned. Nearly a quarter of the active position players were cleared from the roster.
Dominic Smith, who recently left the Yankees’ system, has signed a big-league deal to take over at first base. Wade, once a standout player under Farhan Zaidi, was batting just .167 with one home run this season.
The Giants’ offense has struggled, resulting in back-to-back losses with scores of 1-0 and 3-2.
These roster changes aim to revitalize the team’s performance and capitalize on their strong pitching that has gone to waste amid struggles.
