In the tightest July trade market in years, teams with better records than the Giants -- and there were lots of them -- set their sights on Scott Eyre, who has become one of the best left- handed setup men in baseball.
General manager Brian Sabean said no to all suitors, so Eyre remains a Giant. For that, he walked into Sabean's office during the just-completed homestand and thanked his boss, who is no dummy. Lefties who command four pitches, fire fastballs at 93 mph and are blessed with rubber arms are hard to find.
Giants Won't Trade Eyre
