SF Giants news: Skills not coming back if season is lost, Pat Burrell dreads

If the 2020 MLB season were canceled, several veteran San Francisco Giants players may find themselves fighting an uphill battle to stay relevant, Giants minor league hitting coach Pat Burrell says.

Burrell spoke on the "Murph and Mac" show on KNBR Tuesday.

“Especially if you’re getting near 30 or getting even past, you’re talking about getting a year off and skills diminishing, and there’s no guarantee skills are coming back. There’s been so much attention for Hunter Pence and Pablo (Sandoval) coming back. Those guys don’t play for a year, it’s tough to get back on the horse.
