The San Francisco Giants have made roster moves ahead of Opening Day, with Marco Luciano being optioned to Triple-A after a tough spring. Joey Bart, Nick Ahmed, and Landen Roupp are on the roster, while Pablo Sandoval has been released. Bart impressed with a strong spring training performance, securing his spot as the third catcher. Luciano's demotion comes amidst Brandon Crawford drama, with Tyler Fitzgerald and Ahmed set to fill in. The Giants' decisions have raised questions about Bart's future with the team, as scouts are watching closely.

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart made the Opening Day roster, but he might be put on waivers and could find himself elsewhere — perhaps with the Oakland A's — very soon. https://t.co/Y18Sg64Gbx
Why catcher Joey Bart's days with the Giants might be numbered - he's still with the team, but scouts are watching, and they're impressed: https://t.co/zy3t5ShbM7 via @sfchronicle
Joey Bart looked like he "figured things out" in spring training, according to a scout, and made the Giants' Opening Day roster. But he could still find himself on waivers soon. Will the A's, who have the highest waiver priority, be interested? https://t.co/zvYSiVecxO

The #SFGiants have optioned SS Marco Luciano to AAA. He hit just .227 with 19 strikeouts in 44 at bats this spring. Given all the Brandon Crawford drama this offseason, a tough move to make. Tyler Fitzgerald and Nick Ahmed will fill in. @KPIXtv https://t.co/6VXs3jwBio
