Pablo Sandoval News
San Francisco Giants corner infielder Pablo Sandoval said after Tuesday's 3-1 exhibition loss to the Athletics that he is not retiring and will report to Triple-A Sacramento if he gets the chance, per the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser. The 37-year-old veteran went 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout, with his broken-bat hit coming in his final at-bat in the ninth inning. Sandoval batted .250 with no home runs in 28 spring at-bats and hasn't played in a big-league organization since 2021. However, he had a storied career during his time with the Giants, earning three World Series Championships, two All-Star appearances, and one World Series Most Value Player Award. Regardless of the outcome, the Panda made a lasting mark in the Giants' organization.
The San Francisco Giants have signed veteran Pablo Sandoval to a minor league contract, according to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic. Sandoval's deal includes an invitation to major league spring training. The 37-year-old has been out of Major League Baseball since 2021, and he was most recently a member of Dubai's Abu Dhabi Falcons after being selected in the Baseball United Draft last October. It's hard to envision Sandoval making the Opening Day roster, but at the very least, he provides depth, competition, and an invaluable veteran presence. Last measured at 5-foot-10 and 268 pounds, the former All-Star third baseman now figures to spend most of his time at first base or designated hitter.
According to Acereros De Monclova of the Mexican Baseball League, Pablo Sandoval has signed a contract to play in 2022. Sandoval spent parts of 14 seasons in the Major Leagues, most recently with the Atlanta Braves in 2021 where he posted a .178 AVG with four home runs across 86 plate appearances. This signing likely brings an end to Sandoval's tenure in Major League Baseball.
