The Giants played an exhibition game late into Monday night and then made a trade afterwards, harming the fragile blogger community that’s trying to rest up before the start of the season. But bloggers don’t own the night — no one does, and Farhan Zaidi never sleeps.

Jerez made his major league debut last season and struck out 15 in 15 innings.
