Earlier today, Scott Boras invoked the Giants once again in a quest to get his client a better contract — this time, it was on behalf of Carlos Gonzalez, or CarGo as he’s known in the state of Colorado, and while “CarGo” is 33 years old and still provides a little bit of pop, he’s hardly the player he once was, is left-handed (bad for Oracle Park), and would cost more than a non-guaranteed minor league deal with (probably) a chance to make a couple million if he makes the big league club.
And yet, the dudes on the beat just heard from Zaidi and he still wants to acquire an outfielder, dammit.
