In addition to the Brewers, he has also spent time with the Atlanta Braves<\/a>, Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> and Detroit Tigers\u2019 Minor League affiliates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying about the news:<\/p>\n

@smalle34365:<\/a> \u201cAfter looking at some reports on Eddys This could prove to be a very sneaky strong move for the Giants<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

@MKalkoffen:<\/a> \u201cThink that means they\u2019re about to trade Araies?\u201d<\/p>\n

@TJimmyg49:<\/a> \u201cCould be a solid option if Adames is traded\u201d<\/p>\n

Leonard could end up being a nice addition to the Giants<\/a>\u2018 organization.<\/p>\n

There is also the chance he would provide depth if they trade away one of their veterans.<\/p>\n
