The Giants haven’t given their fans much to cheer about this offseason, but they’re reportedly bringing one of their more popular players back for Gabe Kapler’s first season.
Pablo Sandoval is returning on a minor league deal that will pay him $2 million with another $750,000 in incentives, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. Sandoval is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery but is said to be well ahead of schedule.

Sandoval had Tommy John surgery the first week of September to repair the UCL in his right elbow and remove loose bodies from the back of his elbow.
