Today’s brief
San Diego reshaped its pitching staff by declining options on Nick Pivetta, Lucas Giolito, and Griffin Canning while exercising its option on reliever Donovan Hart. The moves send four more arms to the open market ahead of upcoming qualifying offer deadlines. Meanwhile, reliever Yuki Matsui finalized his immediate contract plans rather than triggering an early opt-out.
