The Giants acquired five-time All-Star outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the Pirates on Monday, sending Kyle Crick and Bryan Reynolds to Pittsburgh. He tweeted out a heartfelt thank you to the organization and fans, as his time in the Steel City came to an end.
With the news traveling, his new teammates showed their excitement on Twitter.

Right fielder Hunter Pence sent out a tweet to McCutchen that's for the birds:

And the new Giants outfielder himself sent out some love on social media to show he's looking forward to meeting his new teammates and fans:
