Every Major League team has one main goal for Spring Training – stay healthy. The San Francisco Giants have not been able to accomplish that goal this year.
The biggest blow to the team is lefty-reliever Will Smith, who’s leaning towards season-ending Tommy John surgery. The Giants traded two of their top minor-league prospects, catcher Andrew Susac and pitcher Phil Bickford, to the Brewers for the pitcher last year to help shore up a leaky bullpen. Smith was expected to be the Giants’ main left-handed setup man out of the bullpen in 2017.
