SF Giants’ Opening Day roster include Joey Bart, but not Marco Luciano

SAN DIEGO — Joey Bart’s last day in the Giants’ organization hasn’t arrived yet.

Finalizing their Opening Day roster Thursday morning, the Giants opted to carry three catchers, including the former second overall pick. While the team won’t carry three catchers all season, Bart cannot be sent to the minors without passing through waivers and the move potentially increases the chances he goes unclaimed.

By using one of the 26 roster spots on Bart, the Giants will open the season with only 12 pitchers.
