Giants Opening Day Roster 2017

No, I haven't tracked every move in the off-season and spring training. I will still be tracking moves of the big club and the minor league system. As the Giants opened the season today, the 25-man roster was released.

The minor league season starts Thursday, Apirl 6. Those rosters will be released then.
