The Giants released catcher A.J. Pierzynski on Wednesday. The team had wanted to designate him for assignment so they could talk to other team about a possible trade but decide to do him a favor and waive him so he could enter the free agent market, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Pierzynski was acquired last season from the Twins and hit .272 with 11 home runs and 77 RBI.
