San Francisco Giants

The Giants cut 17 players to reach 40. Now Henry Lalane needs a spot by Nov. 17

The Giants removed 17 players from their 40-man roster between Oct. 29 and Nov. 2 and now hold exactly 40. They must add any prospect they want to shield from the Rule 5 draft by Nov. 17, three days before the Nov. 20 tender deadline, with Henry Lalane first in line and three pitchers holding spots they are not expected to use before late 2027 at the earliest.
