2025 Season Reviews: Sacramento River Cats

 The AAA Sacramento River Cats were the usual collection of non-active players on the 40-man roster, AAAA players hoping for another shot, rehabbing MLB players and a few young prospects getting a bit more salt on their way up.  The River Cats finished the season with a 77-73 record good for 3'rd place in the western division.  They were 36-39 in the first half(4'th place) and 41-34 in the second half(2'nd place).  Here is a list of players who spend time on both the River Cats roster and the Giants active roster:
