With the Giants<\/a> struggling, Arraez has been mentioned in a lot of trade rumors.<\/p>\n

Recently, manager Tony Vitello spoke about the four-time MLB<\/a> All-Star (h\/t NBC Sports Area & California<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Reporter: \u201cTony, if this was Arraez\u2019 last home game in a Giants uniform, what lasting impact did he make in his four months here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Vitello: \u201cMade everybody\u2019s day better\u2026 My initial answer would be we don\u2019t have enough time here. And, I\u2019d put it in a note to him, and I\u2019d put it in a note to you all. So maybe we\u2019ll revisit that question if it is the case. But I think a succinct, exact answer is\u2026 You could pick any fan you want. You guys, players, coaches. Literally made everyone\u2019s day better every day\u2026 There wasn\u2019t any days off for that theory either.\u201d<\/p>\n
