And with that, the San Francisco Giants legacy of Uribe has come to an end. It was a fun ride, which culminated in a World Series victory, but it's over.
But now all we're left with is memories...like this. And this. And this.
Uribe has joined the dark side. This really sucks.
Now the Giants have the remaining shortstop options:
- Orlando Cabrera
- Cesar Izturis
- Miguel Tejada
- J.J. Hardy
- Edgar Renteria
- Jason Bartlett
- Marco Scutaro
- Jed Lowrie (not going to happen...)
- Stephen Drew (not going to happen...)
- Jose Reyes (not going to happen...)
- Derek Jeter (not going to happen...)
At least the Dodgers signed him to a three-year deal. I doubt that he will provide much value in 2013. They paid him too much; gave him too many years. But it was the price they had to pay to deprive the Giants of their beloved Uribe. And it sucks.
