Giants Designate Miguel Tejada For Assignment
The Giants designated infielder Miguel Tejada for assignment, reports Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News.
Tejada, 37, posted the worst offensive season of his career with a .239/.270/.326 line in 343 plate appearances. He split his time between shortstop and third base.
The Giants signed Tejada to a one-year, $6.5MM deal in December to be their starting shortstop after losing Juan Uribe to the Dodgers and missing out on other targets. From the beginning, that felt like a hefty price for a stopgap. The Giants are eating $1MM in salary by cutting Tejada now, for a total of $14.8MM given Aaron Rowand's dismissal.
