San Francisco Giants Pablo Sandoval, right, gets a hug before the start of Game 2 of the Bay Bridge series at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, March 26, 2023.

“Whatever it takes to get that hit,” Sandoval said in the postgame clubhouse. I’ve always been a free swinger . . . I had one more opportunity to wear this uniform this year. Had great fan support. I don’t know if it’s my last at-bat here but it was unbelievable. Getting the hit was the most important thing — not for me, for the fans.”The Giants have not yet announced whether Sandoval would remain with the organization, perhaps playing in Triple-A Sacramento, or be released at age 37.
“All that comes to mind when you say Pablo Sandoval is my last game here as a San Diego Padre, my first at-bat of the game, I hit a line drove — smoked a line drive — and he laid out and caught it,” Kotsay said. “My last chance to get a hit in a big league game and he stole it from me.”“A lot of times guys ask me, when did you know it was the right time to take the uniform off?” Kotsay said. “I always say, you’ll know when it’s the right time. The game will tell you.
