Giants place McCutchen on revocable waivers

Andrew McCutchen scored the game-winning run in the 13th inning of the San Francisco Giants' 2-1 win over the New York Mets at Citi Field Monday night.

And, oh, that was after he was reportedly placed on revocable waivers.

According to Yahoo Sports, the Giants exposed the 31-year-old outfielder and there's a very strong chance he will be playing for another team by week's end. The Giants snapped a four-game losing skid against the Mets after being outscored 20-5 last weekend against last-place Cincinnati.

The 2013 NL MVP is slashing just .257/.354/.417 in his first season in San Francisco. The Pirates dealt their franchise player to the Giants on Jan. 15 in exchange for reliever Kyle Crick, minor-league outfielder Bryan Reynolds and international slot money.

Typically, teams will place a player on revocable waivers ahead of the Aug. 31 trade deadline to see what he could fetch in a potential deal. Teams making a claim would have two days to work out a deal for McCutchen, who is in the final year of his contract which pays him $14.75 million.

The Yankees and Phillies had shown some interest in McCutchen before he was dealt in the winter, though it's unclear what the market would be for him now.
