The Giants, needing to clear 40-man roster space to make room for Mark Melancon, have traded Chris Heston to the Mariners for a player to be named later. This is better than losing Heston on waivers, which was going to happen when they designated him for assignment tomorrow.
We sure had some times, though, didn’t we? We sure had some times.
It wasn’t surprising that Heston had some suitors, as we talked about earlier on Wednesday, and he’s going to a good ballpark for his sinker-friendly ways. He should have a much better opportunity to crack a 25-man roster, so good for him.
