Happy Friday, San Francisco Giants fans. I hope you’ve all cued up Robin Hood and readied your Sheriff of Nottingham jokes, because the Giants made a trade on Wednesday, acquiring catcher 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.
