The SF Giants cleared quite a few roster spots last week, but another was created through free agency. JT Brubaker elected free agency, becoming the first Giants player to do so this offseason.
Right-handed pitcher JT Brubaker has elected free agency, becoming the first San Francisco Giants player to hit the open market this offseason after accruing enough Major League service time.

Young suggests the Giants should prioritize targeting relievers with better command rather than re-signing the veteran.
