Giants trade C Chris Stewart to the Yankees for prospect George Kontos

[Eze]

Christ, Giants actually made some crazy yet good decisions today. I'm a bit shocked.

[Einz]

Lol.

They deserve it... i hope the Wilpons go broke and are forced to sell... two of my worst years working there. My friend who was also my Manager got laid off, along with 45 other employees

Thanks for posting in this thread. Hector Sanchez is guaranteed playing time soon now.

[Eze]

Bochy said he'll be comfortable using Sanchez as a pinch hitter as well, meaning Pablo will catch at times (if the situation calls for it) since Stewie went to NY and Brillow pad hair is back at Fresno.

It's 2009 all over again.

I'd like to see Sandoval catch again. Just because.

Thanks.

Jeez, Whiteside sure gets a lot of shots at his hair. IowaSacKing93 hates his hair too, lol.
