Breaking: Padres Announce Another Devastating Set of Roster Moves

San Diego is working toward their Opening Day rosters.

The San Diego Padres announced a series of roster moves on Saturday afternoon, shrinking their major-league camp roster down even more. With the season starting in 11 days, the Padres are working their way to finalizing everything before their Korea series.

The team optioned right-handers Logan Gillaspie and Alek Jacob to minor-league camp. They also re-assigned right-handers Ryan Bergery, Tommy Nance and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge to minor-league camp. The team has 43 players remaining in major league camp.

Jacob spent most of last year in Double-A but did appear in a few games for San Diego. He threw three scoreless innings while striking out five batters.

Fans have been high on his ceiling for a while now. Jacob is a prime candidate to be called up again later this season if he can keep up his production.
