5/20 17:28: Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says the Giants have no serious interest in free agent outfielder Pat Burrell.

Corey Brock of MLB.com writer for the Padres tweets:

Trust me on this; the Padres have no interest at all in OF Pat Burrell.

5/20 15:01: According to Mychael Urban of Comcast SportsNet, he tweets:

#sfgiants fans, please stop thinking Pat Burrell might be an option. I know this team. Dude is NOT an option. He’s a DH at best. Book it.

5/20 13:34: According to San Jose Mercury’s Andrew Baggarly, free agent Pat Burrell has received interest from the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres and he could be weighing offers.

Burrell is originally from the San Francisco Bay area, so that could play into his decision.

Burrell was designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend and cleared waivers today. Any team interested in Burrell would have to pay the pro-rated portion of the league’s minimum $400,000 salary (about $300,000). The Rays will pay the remaining $6.5 million on his $9 million contract.

Burrell, 33, was hitting .202/.292/.333 in 24 games with the Tampa Bay Rays.
