‘We really wish Brandon the best. But we’re looking forward to what LaMonte and other guys in that mix can do for us,’ Zaidi said.
When Brandon Belt signed with the Toronto Blue Jays this week, it ended his time with the only organization he’s ever known and ensured the Giants will have a different first baseman on Opening Day for only the second time since 2011.
The Giants remained in touch with Belt — Zaidi said he even visited him in recent weeks — but ultimately it came down to a “timing and fit issue,” Zaidi said. The Giants committed this offseason to getting younger and more athletic. Belt, like Evan Longoria, didn’t fit into those plans. Belt, who turns 35 in April, signed a one-year, $9.2 million deal with Toronto. He underwent surgery on his knee late last season, and Zaidi said the Giants kept tabs on his rehab. During a recent visit, Zaidi said Belt looked to be in great shape.
While Zaidi said the Giants could still add a veteran to the first-base mix, he said Wade was, “in particular, someone we’re really high on,” despite a down year in 2022. The Giants believe he will benefit from the new restrictions on infield shifts and a fresh start after multiple stints on the injured list last season.
