Welcome to the third and final segment of our “Giants who became Dodgers” series, which brings us to some more contemporary history. Five of the six entries in this portion were Ned Colletti free agent signings, Colletti himself being something of a Giant who became a Dodger (though we’re only counting players in this series). It’s hardly a complete list — Colletti sure loved him some ex-Giants — but they are the most noteworthy examples.
This segment also features the most recent Dodgers/Giants trade, just the 10th ever.
Previous entries in the series:
