When the season ends all players on IL are activated and count on the 40. I think Belt goes FA since I can't conceive of the Giants keeping him on the 40. They could resign Flores as a DH/!B which will mean that the balloon toss from second will cease to exist. He probably goes elsewhere.
Most of the best young prospects aren't yet eligible for the Rule 5 minor league draft. One who is is Corry. I doubt that the Giants will protect him on the 40 so he's probably gone. Pitched twice for Eugene and got hurt.
Dabovich and others will contend for a bullpen spot. Delaplane, who might have the best stuff in the Giants chain, is hurt and won't be protected IMO. Has command issues but by all accounts is electric.
They need to open Fort Knox in 2024 and sign Ohtani if he hasn't been traded before.
