Which Guardians players have also played for the Giants? MLB Immaculate Grid Answers August 3

The MLB Immaculate Grid for Aug. 3 has just gone live and it features a crossover between the Cleveland Guardians (formerly known as the Indians) and the San Francisco Giants. These two teams don't play each other very often, but have had a few players cross over.

They're both longstanding franchises, even if the Guardians have only been called that for a couple of seasons.

Steve Carlton might be the best example of a player who played for the Guardians and the Giants. The Hall of Famer was briefly with Cleveland in 1987 and the Giants in 1986. He's known for playing for the Phillies, but he qualifies here.

Here are some other ballplayers who suited up for both:

  • Christian Arroyo
  • Bud Black
  • Melky Cabrera
  • Steve Carlton
  • Joe Carter
  • Rajai Davis
  • Mark DeRosa
  • Scott Kazmir
  • Dan Otero
  • Roberto Perez
  • Gaylord Perry
  • Juan Uribe
  • Omar Vizquel

Orel Hershiser is another good answer. The former Cy Young winner is best known for his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he played for both the Giants and Guardians in his career.
