While Brandon Crawford may have played his final game as a member of the San Francisco Giants, it sounds like he isn’t ready to hang up his gloves.
According to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, Crawford’s agent Joel Wolfe said Crawford hopes to keep playing in 2024.
“Brandon’s been getting interest from clubs,” Wolfe told Shea at MLB’s manager meeting this week.
