The good news is the San Francisco Giants are all out of Prelander Berroas. The bad news is that the return for this afternoon’s reported trade with AL ally — ALly? — the Seattle Mariners doesn’t feature a player with the same upside Donovan Walton once had.
Instead, the Giants, the worst lineup in Major League Baseball for the month of July, will send a player to be named later to Seattle in exchange for the cremains of 35-year old outfielder AJ Pollock and 28-year old infielder Mark Mathias, a Cal Poly grad and Fremont native who’s primarily a veteran of seven minor league seasons (559 games; 2,306 PA).
