For the primary time since he very practically signed with the Giants final offseason, Aaron Decide and the New York Yankees are in San Francisco for a weekend sequence. The Giants and Decide had been shut sufficient to a deal that an inaccurate report stated it appeared he was headed to San Francisco, full with an “Arson Decide” typo.
Friday marked Decide’s first profession sport at Oracle Park (NY 6, SF 2) because the Yankees and Giants opened their three-game set. He was greeted with a wholesome dose of boos earlier than every of his at-bats. Hey, in the event you flip down a $360 million free agent contract, followers aren’t going to love you.
