On Saturday, Kevin Cash revealed the final 25-man roster that will take the field on Sunday as the 2016 season kicks off with a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s no doubt been a up and down week as some very tough decisions have had to be made in just Cash’s second season as a MLB manager. Decisions like releasing catcher Rene Rivera and, inevitably, James Loney who was told Wednesday he would not be with the club in 2016. It is still unknown what will happen with Loney, but on Saturday, fans knew who they will be seeing come out of the dugout at 4:05 on Sunday afternoon.
