With the money he is getting, he can buy so much more to eat than I, that's why my 'belly' is smaller than his. I am glad we (Giants) for rid of him.
Sandoval is coming off his worst professional season. He hit just .245 with 10 home runs. He was also the lowest-ranked defensive third baseman in the majors.
Sandoval was beyond horrible last year with the Red Sox - both defensively and offensively. He was one of the worst players in baseball. That is why fans are astounded that he showed up in this kind of condition - for the 2nd year in a row.
At the end of the season, the Red Sox announced they asked him to lose weight. During the off season, at least 3 different times, they announced that he was losing weight. Then he showed up like this and said he hadn't tried to lose weight at all, and in fact, had not stepped on a scale the whole off-season.
SF Chronicle:
Because he's a former Giant, the California sports media has followed him closely since he joined the Red Sox, and they have been all over this. Every sports talk show, sports page, and sports website has been covering this since Saturday.
Google "Pablo Sandoval," and you will find national coverage.

He could also hire a full time chef, and a full time trainer, to get him into the shape that a professional athlete should be in.
It's really hard to understand what he is thinking, or what his agent is thinking.
