SAN FRANCISCO — The first two steps of Pablo Sandoval’s second stint in San Francisco were positive.
Sandoval showed up to AT&T Park on Saturday in decent shape, the kind that will allow him to go straight to the minors instead of spending a few weeks cutting pounds. He also said the right things, apologizing to fans for comments made in the months and year after he left the Giants for supposedly greener pastures.
“I learned my lesson,” Sandoval said a few seconds after sitting down with reporters. “I made a lot of mistakes.”
Sandoval said he also needed to apologize to former teammates, many of whom have not forgotten a Bleacher Report article from Sandoval’s first spring with the Red Sox.
