"Madison Bumgarner trying to wrap up this World Series for the Giants. He's ready. He throws, swing and a POP-UP! [Pablo] Sandoval down the line in foul ground, he's got plenty of room, and he's got it! And the Giants have won; they have won the World Series for the third time in five years. And Madison Bumgarner has firmly etched his name on the all-time World Series record books as one of the greatest World Series pitchers the game has ever seen!"

—Jon Miller's final radio call on KNBR of the final out of the 2014 World Series clincher

In Game 3 of the 2014 World Series, his post-season on-base streak ended at 25. [60] In Game 4, while ailing with the flu, his 13th multi-hit post-season game brought him to second in that category in franchise history, behind Frankie Frisch.

In Kansas City, in Game 7 of the World Series, Sandoval recorded his 26th hit of the postseason, which set a new record for most hits in a single postseason (it was eventually broken by Randy Arozarena in the 2020 World Series). He also caught Royals batter Salvador Pérez's pop-up foul ball for the final out to clinch the World Series championship for the San Francisco Giants. [61] It was the Giants' third World Championship in a span of five seasons. [62] Sandoval became a free agent after the season ended.

Boston Red Sox (2015–2017)

Sandoval with the Red Sox

On November 24, 2014, Sandoval came to an agreement with the Boston Red Sox on a five-year, $90 million contract with a sixth year club option of $17 million or a $5 million buy-out. [63] [64] The deal was officially announced on November 25. [65] Sandoval said, "It was a tough decision for me. It took me a long time to be sure that I was going to make the right decision... But I want a new challenge. I made that choice to be here in Boston because I need a new challenge." [66]

In 126 games of 2015, Sandoval batted .245 with 10 home runs and 47 RBI, all career lows since his first full season in 2009. [67] He swung at 47.8% of pitches outside the strike zone (the highest percentage in the majors). [68]

2016

In January 2016, Sandoval switched agents and became represented by Rick Thurman and Rafa Nieves of Beverly Hills Sports Council. [69] Looking to improve upon his first season in Boston, an overweight Sandoval struggled in spring training, and was replaced by Travis Shaw as the starting third baseman. [70] On April 13, Sandoval was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a shoulder strain. [71] On May 3, Sandoval underwent surgery on his left shoulder, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. On September 24, manager John Farrell told reporters that Sandoval was progressing ahead of schedule in his rehab, and could be an option for the Red Sox in the postseason should a need arise, as the team did acquire Aaron Hill during the season to help with third base depth. [72] Sandoval also made an effort at improving his fitness, losing 15 pounds by August while working at the Red Sox facility in Fort Myers. [73] Due to the injury Sandoval ended his 2016 season with six at bats. [74]

2017

Heading into the 2017 season, Sandoval battled in spring training to become the third baseman, competing against Josh Rutledge and a few others. Sandoval won the job after posting solid spring training numbers. He began hitting at the bottom of the Boston lineup, mainly between 6th and 8th in the order. Through 108 plate appearances, Sandoval continued his struggle from the 2015 season, hitting just .212 for the Red Sox before being placed on the 10-day disabled list on June 20 with an inner ear infection. [75] On June 27, he began a rehab assignment with the Pawtucket Red Sox of the Class AAA International League. [76] He was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on July 14, [77] and released on July 19. [78]

Second stint with Giants (2017–2020)

2017

On July 22, 2017, the Giants signed Sandoval to a minor league contract. [79] Upon rejoining the Giants' organization, Sandoval played three games with the Class A-Advanced San Jose Giants and nine games with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, where he batted .222 and .207, respectively. On August 5, Sandoval was called up to San Francisco after Brandon Belt was put on the disabled list for a concussion. With the 2017 Giants, Sandoval appeared in 47 games, batting .225 with five home runs and 20 RBIs; defensively, he made 38 appearances at third base and nine appearances at first base. [80]

2018

The Giants picked up Sandoval's option, worth the league minimum, for 2018. [81] He had a strong spring training, hitting four home runs as part of a .302/.333/.585 slash line. [82] He made the opening day roster out of spring training as a bench player, likely as a backup to newly acquired third baseman Evan Longoria. [83]

On April 28, Sandoval debuted as a pitcher in a 15–6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He pitched a perfect ninth inning, inducing three groundouts with mostly curveballs averaging around 70 mph. [84] In 92 games for the Giants, he hit .248/.310/.417 with 9 home runs and 40 RBIs. [85]

2019

Sandoval appeared in more than 100 games for the Giants in 2019, playing at 3rd and 1st bases, and pitching in one game. He also led the major leagues with 18 pinch hits, but was hampered by elbow problems. Two days before having Tommy John surgery, he came off the injured list to make a final appearance for retiring manager Bruce Bochy on September 1, 2019. Sandoval was the 2019 nominee from the Giants for the annual Roberto Clemente Award for contributions on and off the field. He batted .268/.313/.507 with 14 home runs and 41 RBIs, and his first stolen base since 2012. [86]

2020

On January 31, 2020, Sandoval agreed to a minor league contract with the Giants and would get a one-year, $2 million deal if he's added to the 40-man roster. Sandoval made the Opening Day roster for the Giants when his contract was selected on July 23. On September 10, 2020, Sandoval was designated for assignment and placed on release waivers by the Giants. [87] In 2020 with the Giants, he batted .220/.278/.268 with one home run and 6 RBIs in 90 plate appearances. [88] [89]

Atlanta Braves (2020–2021)

On September 14, 2020, Sandoval signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves. [90] [91] On September 27, the Braves added Sandoval to the 40-man and active rosters. [92] [93] With Sandoval's usual number 48 being used by Ian Anderson, Sandoval settled with the number 18. In the 2020 regular season, he was 0-for-2 for the team. [94] He made a pinch-hit appearance in Game 1 of the 2020 National League Championship Series after not playing in the Wild Card Series or the Division Series, appearing in the eighth inning with two runners on and two out; he was hit by a pitch after two pitches. He played third base for the ninth inning as the Braves won 5-1. [95]

On January 24, 2021, Sandoval re-signed with the Braves on a minor league contract. [96] On March 27, 2021, Sandoval was selected to the 40-man roster. [97] Sandoval hit two home runs in his first three at-bats, including what turned out to be the game-winner on April 7, 2021. [98] [99] Sandoval was traded to the Cleveland Indians on July 30 in exchange for Eddie Rosario and cash considerations, [100] and was immediately released. [100] In 2021 he batted .178/.302/.342. [101] That year he had the third-slowest sprint speed of all major leaguers, at 22.7 feet/second, ahead of only Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. [102] Although not on the team for the playoffs, Sandoval received a ring from the Braves following their 2021 World Series Championship, giving him his fourth ring.

Foreign Leagues

On February 7, 2022, Sandoval signed with the Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League. [103] In 28 games, he batted .240/.311/.356 with 3 home runs and 18 RBIs. Sandoval was waived by the team on May 26. [104] On May 27, 2022, Sandoval was claimed off waivers by the Olmecas de Tabasco. [105] In 43 games, he slashed .311/.396/.466 with 7 home runs and 24 RBIs. Following the season, the team announced they would be parting ways, [106] and Sandoval was officially released on January 19, 2023. [3]

On October 23, 2023, Sandoval was selected by the Abu Dhabi Falcons in the inaugural Baseball United draft. [107] Sandoval played for the United West All-Stars during the 2023 All-Star Showcase in November 2023, starting at third base in both of the showcase games [108] and hitting a six-run home run during a "moneyball" at bat in which each run batted in counts as two. [109]

Staten Island FerryHawks

On February 17, 2024, Sandoval signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants. [110] Historically a switch-hitter, Sandoval only batted left handed in his comeback bid. [111] He was released by the Giants organization on March 28 after slashing .250/.323/.250 in 31 Spring Training plate appearances. [112] [113]

On April 6, 2024, Sandoval signed with the Staten Island FerryHawks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. [114]

International career

Sandoval with the Navegantes del Magallanes

Like many Venezuelan MLB players, Sandoval plays in the Venezuelan Winter League during the offseason. He plays for the Navegantes del Magallanes. In 2013, Sandoval led his team to its first series title since the 2002 winter ball season. He was named the MVP of the Venezuelan postseason, three months after being named the 2012 World Series MVP. Sandoval said, "There's nothing like being champion here in Venezuela with the Navegantes. Although it can't be compared with winning the World Series, because they're different things. But it's very special to be champion here." [115]

Personal life

During the offseason, Sandoval lives in Santa Monica, California.

Sandoval's parents run a mechanical engineering firm in Valencia, Venezuela. [2] His older brother, Michael, played in the Minnesota Twins' organization from 1999 through 2004 and, after a year of independent ball in 2009, played for San Jose in 2010. [2] [116] Sandoval is a devout Roman Catholic, and makes the sign of the cross after each base hit. He attributes his success to his faith, saying it is important to be "seizing the opportunities offered in life by God and the need to fight tirelessly, not to survive but to excel." [117]

Sandoval has a daughter from his marriage to Yoletzade Sandoval, whom he divorced in 2010. Sandoval married his current wife, Yulimar Martins, on December 10, 2019, at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort in Miami Beach.[ citation needed ]
