Why SF Giants believe deadline acquisition A.J. Pollock will make a difference despite .173 batting average

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:36:47 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — As they watched other contenders beef up their rosters with less than 24 hours to go until Tuesday’s trade deadline, the Giants made their first move Monday afternoon. But will it be their last?On the surface, the deal with the Seattle Mariners — acquiring veteran outfielder A.J. Pollock and minor-league utilityman Matt Mathias for a player to be named later or cash — might be viewed as underwhelming, especially in comparison to moves made this week by San Francisco’s competition in the race for the NL West or a wild card spot.Pollock is 35 years old, batting .173 this season and currently on the injured list. Even the Pittsburgh Pirates couldn’t find a spot on their 40-man roster for Mathias, who was designated for assignment last month.But president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, reconnecting with his favorite trading partner, believes both players can help the Giants patch some holes.Pollock fills an immediate and acute need in the outfield...

When these PFAS get into our communities, it could take hundreds of years for them to break down if they ever do," Danny Katz of CoPIRG said. He said Colorado is leading the way when it comes to controlling PFAS or forever chemicals, but there is more work to be done."The number one thing we need to do is that we just need to stop it at the source. Once PFAs get out there, they are really, really hard to do anything with. The best thing we can do right now is kind of control them and put them in an isolated place," Katz said.
