Greg Johnston
Mike Glinatsis
Mark Kuecker
Mike Rex
Many thanks!

You've missed the date on this. It's reported in the October 21, 1978 edition of
The Sporting News and refers to these players being added to the San Francisco roster
after the 1978 season ended (see screen grab of the page from SABR's TSN archive below). Given the lag between the "close" of each TSN issue and the publication date, these moves were probably made around October 6 or 7. The Giants' regular season ended on October 1. None of these five players were on the Giants' active roster during 1978, sorry.
