SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The San Francisco Giants have acquired third baseman Casey McGehee from the Miami Marlins for a pair of right-handed minor league pitchers, finding their replacement for departed slugger Pablo Sandoval.
San Francisco announced the trade late Friday. The reigning World Series champions are sending Kendry Flores and Luis Castillo to the Marlins.
McGehee became expendable once the Marlins acquired Martin Prado on Friday from the New York Yankees.
The 32-year-old McGehee won NL comeback player of the year honors after hitting .287 with 29 doubles, four home runs and 76 RBIs for Miami following a season with the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan.
McGehee is from Santa Cruz and attended Fresno State.
Sandoval helped the Giants win three championships in five years. He became a free agent after their latest crown in October and then signed with the Boston Red Sox.
