    Giants Acquire Hunter Pence
    By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 11:23am CST]
    The Giants bolstered their lineup today, acquiring right fielder*Hunter Pence from the Phillies and countering the Dodgers' aggressive moves, tweets SI's Jon Heyman.

    Pence, 29, is hitting .271/.336/.447 in 440 plate appearances for the Phillies this year. *He's under team control for 2013, though his salary could exceed $14MM. *Pence joined the Phillies one year ago in a trade with the Astros, but amidst a disappointing season GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is cleaning house. *Less than an hour ago, the Dodgers acquired another member of the Phillies' outfield in Shane Victorino.

    Yep...

    Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Giants have acquired outfielder Hunter Pence from the Phillies.

    The division-rival Dodgers have been very busy over the past week, so the Giants are making their counter-blow. Pence is batting .271/.336/.447 with 17 home runs, 59 RBI and a .784 OPS this season and should take over the starting right field job in San Fran. The 29-year-old is under team control for 2013. It's not clear who the Phillies will get in return.

    Giants vice president Bobby Evans told Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com that a report that the club acquired Hunter Pence from the Phillies is "not accurate."

    14million for next year is a TON of money for Pence though

    At this point you might as well move Lee as well.

    Looks like the Phillies are dismantling a disappointing team that never meshed together.
