With the San Francisco Giants potentially looking for options at first base with one of their stars injured, they could look to make a trade for a talented player who was just designated for assignment.
They're right in the thick of the playoff race, sitting just a half-game out of the third Wild Card spot despite all the injuries they've suffered to key players while also not playing up to their potential.The 30-year-old was putting together a remarkable season with a slash line of .333/.470/.426, two homers and 17 RBI, which would have easily been the best performance of his career.
That hasn't happened much for the Giants this year, one of the reasons why they are fighting for a Wild Card spot, but with plenty of games left on the calendar, there is optimism that this offense will eventually figure things out.He was placed on the injured list with a strained left hamstring on May 28, and there's a chance he won't be back until late-June or even July.
With the Giants needing someone to provide a spark on offense, they could turn to an option outside of their organization.. After looking like a major part of their franchise going forward, he clearly has fallen out of favor to the point where they are willing to let him hit the open market.
