The Red Sox are paying his salary minus that major league minimum*. So the Giants can bring Sandoval into camp and if he looks like he can produce, he will have a bench role on the 25-man roster. If he doesn't look good in spring training, the Giants can cut him with no penalty whatsoever.

Say what you want about him, but he is entertaining to watch:



* Major league minimum salary is $507,500, so the Giants will be paying him $3,000 a game to sit on the bench and eat empanadas.
