Farhan Zaidi discusses Giants' early moves that didn't work out

DENVER -- Do you remember Justin Ruggiano getting 60 at-bats for the 2017 Giants? Or Chris Marrero getting a shot as the left fielder that April? What about Ruben Tejada and Grant Green the year before? Or Alejandro De Aza and Marlon Byrd the year before that?

Every year, every front office has a long list of moves that didn't work out. It's part of the job. But when it's your first year in charge there's going to be a bit more scrutiny, so it certainly stood out Monday when Yangervis Solarte and Pat Venditte were let go just three days after Gerardo Parra.
