San Francisco Giants executive Farhan Zaidi admitted he considered trading for another left-handed bat to fortify the team’s lineup ahead of Monday’s trade deadline.
The Giants didn’t end up making that move, but their lineup against right-handed pitchers may improve down the stretch anyway.
If Alex Dickerson stays this hot, he could be the difference-making run-producer the Giants need to sneak into the postseason. Dickerson went 4-for-5 with three home runs and a double in the club’s 23-5 win over the Rockies on Tuesday and carried over momentum from Sunday’s game when he homered and singled in the go-ahead run in a 4-1 win.
