It was a sad day today for San Francisco Giants fans.  The Giants did not offer arbitration to Snow, which means that he will be playing baseball somewhere else next year.  And they plan on replacing him with … the 36-year-old Mark Sweeney (?!).

Thanks J.T. for 9 great years.

J.T. speaks out (SF Chronicle).

“I’ve met a lot of great teammates and I’m proud I got to wear the orange and black. … This is where my heart is. I love the city of San Francisco. My family and I are members of the Bay Area community. We will be for the rest of our lives. It’s just unfortunate it didn’t work out.”
