Pablo Sandoval is in negotiations on a minor league deal to return to the San Francisco Giants, according to FanRag Sports.
The 2012 World Series MVP with the Giants was earlier in the day officially released by the Boston Red Sox when the third baseman didn't report after being designated for assignment last week.
It officially ended the Boston tenure for the once-celebrated free agent, who never was healthy enough to live up to the expectations that came with the $95 million contract he signed in 2014.
With the Red Sox unable to find a team willing to take on part of his salary, Sandoval moved on after 161 games, 575 at-bats, 136 hits and 14 homers for Boston -- but not a single one of them in the postseason.
