Giants released Scooter Gennett today -- the guy they traded for at the deadline.

They REALLY want to take a look at infielder (likely of the future) Mauricio Dubon from AAA. He was also a trade deadline acquisition, but from Milwaukee. Gennett came from the Reds, and was placed on unconditional release waivers.

Baseball is weird.

Gennett was a free agent rental though. I can imagine he wanted every opportunity to find the swing he had in years’ past with next year on the line. Panik was in such a slump that anyone who could breathe at 2B was an improvement. Who knows — maybe Cincy re-signs him? Fingers crossed Dubon can make an impact.
