San Francisco Giants

Eduardo Nunez was a member of the San Francisco Giants for less than a calendar year. But based on the reactions of Nunez, his teammates and Giants’ manager Bruce Bochy to the news that the team’s starting third baseman was traded to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday evening, the impact Nunez had was immense.

With just over two months remaining until Eduardo Nunez hits free agency, the San Francisco Giants decided to trade their starting third baseman to the Boston Red Sox.

The writing may have been on the wall, but that didn’t stop Twitter from having some fun with Eduardo Nunez’s departure to Boston. Check out some of the better tweets that were put out immediately following news of the trade.

It would appear that Eduardo Nunez is on to greener pastures.

The San Francisco Giants have had hardly had much to celebrate in 2017. And on Tuesday evening, they elected to trade one of their most versatile players.

Other major league teams aren’t exactly foaming at the mouth to add many of the Giants’ current prospects at the upcoming trade deadline, something general manager Bobby Evans told Tolbert & Lund on Tuesday afternoon.

MLB Network’s Matt Vasgersian joined Gary and Larry to discuss a number of topics, including the possibility of the Giants going after Giancarlo Stanton in the offseason.

Right-hander Chris Stratton has been recalled to the San Francisco Giants prior to Tuesday’s game. Orlando Calixte was optioned to AAA to make room for the former first-round pick.

ESPN MLB reporter Pedro Gomez told Murph&Mac on KNBR 680 Tuesday that one of the biggest contributors to the Giant’s recent woes is the lack of first-round talent that San Francisco has been able to draft in the last six or so years.

Eduardo Nunez’s name has been tossed around in trade rumors, as the Giants’ third baseman is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. It’s the wrong call, as they should be focused on bringing him back for the 2018 season.
