Despite being over two years removed from his last game as a San Francisco Giant, Mauricio Dubón, now on the Houston Astros, is happy to be back playing in Oracle Park, especially because of one notable absence in his return: his old manager.
Dubón was traded to the Giants from the Brewers in the middle of the 2019 season and played for San Francisco until he was traded to the Astros, who cap off a three-game series at Oracle on Wednesday, in May 2022. The tenure looked like a dream come true for him, as he had grown up a Giants fan and talked about heckling left fielders whenever he’d come to games as a kid.
