Pablo Sandoval ain't Tony Bennett, but the current and past San Francisco Giants third baseman has a new explanation for his struggles with the Boston Red Sox the past three seasons. Sandoval signed with the Boston Red Sox after the 2014 season, taking his three World Series rings across the country and collecting a new five-year, $95 million contract. After two and a half seasons that could be described only as terrible, the Red Sox released Sandoval last month.
