The Giants were so determined to keep Pablo Sandoval's weight from ballooning during road trips that they told the hotels to refuse him room service, according to a Comcast Sports Net reporter.
The Red Sox's benched third baseman, who is in the second year of a five-year, $95 million contract, is on the disabled list with a shoulder strain, which some speculate is fake.
Comcast Sports Net's Sean McAdam reported Friday on the "Toucher and Rich" show that when Sandoval was with the Giants, the team made sure he couldn't order room service.
