Pablo Sandoval's time with the Boston Red Sox effectively ended when he was designated for assignment on Friday. Speculation has since ensued that the Kung Fu Panda could return to the San Francisco Giants, where he was a member of the 2010, 2012 and 2014 World Series champion teams.
According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the scenario isn't out of the question. "People close to Sandoval say he would 'love' to go back to the Giants," writes Heyman, who adds that the Giants have reportedly discussed the matter behind the scenes.
