After turning a corner in 2009, the San Francisco Giants entered the 2010 season with legitimate expectations for the first time in years.
They had a 40-37 record heading into the month of July. That left them 5.5 games back in the NL West and sixth in a crowded NL wild-card picture.
They began July by selling off a veteran piece but closed out the month by adding a pair of quality arms to the bullpen.
Here’s a look at their July activity:
July 1, 2010: C Bengie Molina traded to the Texas Rangers for RHP Chris Ray, RHP Michael Main
After a brief cup of coffee in 2009, Buster Posey was called up for good on May 29, 2010.
