Giants Designate Franchise Icon Hunter Pence for Assignment
The San Francisco Giants have designated outfielder Hunter Pence for assignment, the club announced Sunday.
Pence signed as a free agent this past February after making the 2019 AL All-Star team with the Rangers in 2019. He previously played with San Francisco between 2012-2018, where he made one All-Star team and won two World Series with the club.
The veteran outfielder was cut as part of a series of roster moves that saw San Francisco acquire infielder Daniel Robertson in a trade with Tampa Bay and reinstating pitcher Sam Coonrod from the 10-day IL.
Pence, 37, went 5-for-52 with two home runs for the Giants in 2020.
