Manaea, Brosseau make 60-man rosters

Player pool rosters were due to the MLB office by 3 p.m. Sunday and a set of Andrean players were among those selected. Sean Manaea has made 85 starts on the mound in his four-year career and could be the Oakland Athletics’ opening day starter. Mike Brosseau appeared in 50 games as a super-utility player and is on the Tampa Bay Rays’ 60-man player pool roster. The 28-year-old Manaea, a Valparaiso native, and 26-year-old Brosseau, a Munster native, both played at Andrean. They will enter a three-week camp before the tentative July 23-24 opening day, when teams will have to limit their active roster to 26. The San Francisco Giants did not release their roster publicly Sunday but Valparaiso and Notre Dame product Jeff Samardzija is expected to be named to their roster.
