Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Jeff Young: “That was quick. Leonard was just signed to a minor league deal about 10 days ago. Power bat. In fact, all 4 of his hits with Sacramento have been home runs.”
Alex Pavlovic: “The Giants called up utility man Eddys Leonard to fill their open roster spot. They added him to their Triple-A roster recently, he was 4-for-28 … but the four hits were all home runs. Jonah Cox is done with his rehab but was optioned to Triple-A.”
@C2Cbsbl: “I like this very much Eddys Leonard is the guy I wanted up as soon as Casey got hurt, he’s mashed in AAA this year I’d love to see him get extended run at 3B, no more Koss please”
