News broke over the weekend that the San Francisco Giants were waiving third baseman J.D. Davis. Parting ways with Davis was hardly surprising ... the additions of Jorge Soler and Matt Chapman had left no place on the team for J.D., despite the fact that he’d been one of the team’s best hitters — and the ultimate professional — since coming to the Bay at the 2022 trade deadline.
Him being waived, however, was surprising. I fully expected Davis to be easily tradable, but waivers suggest otherwise. It seems the Giants are ready to cut ties without any return.
