Burrell is expected to be released to make room for Beltran on the Giants roster

By Anthony Caruso III

Pat Burrell is looking for a new home.

The San Francisco Giants are expected to release the outfielder when the trade with Carlos Beltran becomes official. Beltran was acquired from the New York Mets.

Burrell signed a one-year, $1 million free agent contract with the Giants this past winter. He was signed by the Giants last summer after being released by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Burrell was hitting .233 on the year with seven home runs and 21 RBI's in 80 games. Due to his poor stats, Burrell is only likely to land a minor league contract when he signs with a new team.
