Giants reportedly interested in Yuliesky Gurriel
The infielder is a Cuban legend, but he's already 32, and he won't be cheap.
The Giants don’t exactly need another infielder. Matt Duffy is coming back soon, and hopefully Joe Panik doesn’t need much more than the time he’ll get on the 7-day DL. They sure are starting Grant Green because Ramiro Pena is hurt right now, but eventually they’ll get their infield back, along with Kelby Tomlinson as a quality reserve.
The Giants don’t exactly need another outfielder. Hunter Pence should be back by the end of the month, and Angel Pagan is hot. Also, Pagan is getting a lot of hits. Once they’re all healthy, Gregor Blanco will return to the fourth-outfielder role he was born for. This is fine.
