(San Francisco, CA)  --  The San Francisco Giants are saying good bye to the Panda.  World Series hero Pablo Sandoval has been designated for assignment after spending parts of 11 seasons in San Francisco.  Sandoval had Tommy John surgery on his right throwing elbow about a year ago, and hit 220 with one home run this season.  Sandoval was the MVP of the 2012 World Series as the Giants beat the Detroit Tigers.
