SF Giants trade LaMonte Wade to Los Angeles

Late Night LaMonte is heading to the land of late-night TV.

The Giants have traded first baseman LaMonte Wade to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for a player to be named later or cash, the team announced Sunday. San Francisco also sent out money in the deal.

Wade was designated for assignment on Wednesday as the Giants sought a roster shakeup with their offense struggling mightily. They signed veteran first baseman Dominic Smith to take Wade’s roster spot and have won five consecutive games since.
