Think of Marco Luciano’s career as an investment that didn’t pay off. The San Francisco Giants have now charged him off their ledger so that he doesn’t impact their bottom line. Oh sure, maybe he could ultimately pay it back in some sort of debt collection scheme, but the team doesn’t expect him to be a factor in the future, and I guess neither should we.
Over the weekend, the Giants banished him to the minors to keep Donovan Walton on the roster and clear a spot for Matt Chapman, who was returning from paternity leave (and who went on to have a 2-homer day, which was cool).
