Friday BP: Giants trade for Jacob Nottingham

If you’ve paid attention to the Giants at all over the last year, then you know exactly what team the Giants acquired Nottingham from: the Seattle Mariners, their near-daily dance partner.
But there’s something special about this trade that didn’t exist in most of the other recent Giants-Mariners trades: we’ll probably never see Nottingham play for the Giants.
