According to sources close to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports, the San Francisco Giants are not expected to bid on infielder Tsuyoshi Nioshioka before today’s 5pm EST deadline.

The Giants are in need of help at third base and shortstop. The team has doubts over Pablo Sandoval and Juan Uribe and Edgar Renteria are free agents. Morosi says the Giants could re-sign Uribe or make trade to acquire Tampa Bay Rays’ shortstop Jason Bartlett.
