Big roster news continues to roll in for the San Francisco Giants as Opening Day gets closer. On today’s Locked On Giants, we break down the team’s decision to sign Ryan Borucki and what it means for the bullpen — including the surprising ripple effect as Joey Lucchesi is granted his release despite a solid showing this spring and a strong 2025 season out of the bullpen.
We also discuss the latest round of cuts, highlighted by top prospect Bryce Eldridge being optioned to Sacramento. What does this mean for his timeline, and how close is he really to making an impact at the big-league level?
And then there’s the biggest concern of all — the latest on Hayden Birdsong, who now appears headed toward Tommy John surgery. What does this mean for the Giants’ pitching depth, and how do they adjust moving forward?
