Why Brandon Belt, Giants didn't reunite in MLB free agency after 12-year stint - NBC Sports Bay Area
SF Giants agree to one-year deal with 1B/OF LaMonte Wade Jr.
And just a little bit OT, but as you all know, Shawn Purdy, Brock's father, played in the SF Giants organization. He was in AAA Phoenix and had a pretty good season, going 10-3. 14 of the 23 pitchers were called up to the big club that season, but not Purdy. He had the second best record on the staff. Like his son, didn't have a cannon for an arm, about 4-5 strikeouts every 9 innings. Eight pitchers with worse ERAs than Purdy got called up. Interesting.

I’m not ready to define success by wins per dollar…. Having said that, it was clear Belt was not in Giants plan. That’s fine. But I’m also not particularly excited about a Wade /Davis platoon…..
