San Francisco Giants trade reliever Mark Melancon to Atlanta Braves

Why the World Baseball Classic Is Awesome | By Nolan Arenado
Last September, right near the end of the season, we traveled to the Bay Area to play the Giants. It was our final road series of the year. The season hadn’t gone as we had hoped, but we wanted to finish strong, and I was super pumped for those games. I always look forward to playing at AT&T Park, because the Giants are usually good, and those guys have won multiple World Series titles.

Hello, San Francisco | By Mark Melancon
So before I really get into how excited I am to be joining the Giants, and how awesome it’s going to be to play for fans in the Bay Area, allow me to share my favorite Hunter Pence story with you. Hunter and I became friends a few years ago when we were teammates on the Astros. Back then, I used to do yoga four or five times a week to help increase my flexibility. I’m talking hot yoga, the Bikram kind — 90 minutes, 105°, the whole deal. It’s not for everyone, but I love it.
