3 SF Giants most likely to be cut in the coming weeks

The Giants have had to make some tough decisions as players return from injury. They have had to part ways with players they probably would have liked to keep like Spencer Howard, but they were in need of fresher arms.

Austin Slater's struggles coupled with the emergence of Heliot Ramos are why the Giants traded him and Nick Ahmed simply did not provide enough value on offense to justify keeping him on the roster.

Now, the Giants will have even more tough decisions to make. With the likely return of starting pitchers Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray and catcher Tom Murphy in the second half, the Giants are going to have to decide whether they want to demote some of their younger players or cut some of their veterans.

Demoting the younger players seems like the wrong move. The Giants have played some of their best baseball this season when relying on their younger talent like Heliot Ramos, Luis Matos, and Brett Wisely. Farhan Zaidi has even said that if things do not improve, the Giants may sell in order to give their younger players a chance to prove themselves.

If that is the case, then the Giants may cut some of their veterans to make opportunities for younger players. If that is the route they take, here are 3 players who may be on the chopping block in the coming weeks.
