After Joel Peguero got the news that he was headed to the big leagues, he took a moment to just lay on his bed. It was there that it dawned on him.
The Giants were calling Peguero up to make his debut on Aug. 21 -- 10 years to the day that he signed his first pro contract with the Rays as an 18-year-old international free agent in 2015.
“It was something so beautiful,” he said in Spanish. “To realize my dream for the first time as a professional ballplayer, and then to debut on the same day that I realized that dream. It’s really special.”
