ARLINGTON, Texas -- The San Francisco Giants acquired Willie Calhoun on Thursday, sending outfielder Steven Duggar to Texas for the outfielder who was the main return for the Rangers when they traded pitcher Yu Darvish five years ago.
San Francisco also receives cash in the deal.
It will be a homecoming for Calhoun, and a move he requested after being sent to the minors on May 1. The 27-year-old was born in the East Bay city of Vallejo and attended Benicia High School.
Calhoun, 27, has spent all five-plus years of his major league career with the Rangers.
