      Giants release Sandoval from minor league deal

      The San Francisco Giants released infielder Pablo Sandoval from his minor league contract Thursday, hours before the season opener against the San Diego Padres. Sandoval -- a fan favorite nicknamed Kung Fu Panda who was the 2012 World Series MVP -- was trying to get back to the big leagues for the first time since 2021, when he batted .178 with a .302 on-base percentage, four homers and 11 RBIs in 69 games with the Atlanta Braves.
