Seems farfetched. After all, he was suspended for PEDs during the stretch run in 2012 and, even after his suspension was up, his teammates preferred that he not return for the playoffs and he did not. But Ken Rosenthal reports that that could be water under the bridge:
Would #SFGiants be open to Melky reunion?Source says they expressed interest, despite Melky’s 2013 PED suspension when he was with team.

A current #SFGiants veteran says of Melky’s past, “I don’t think anybody in the clubhouse cares. He’d be a great addition.”

Stranger things have happened, I suppose. And the Giants do want a corner outfielder. Melky would probably be a good addition. The only real stumbling block here, it seems, would be Cabrera’s preference to play back east or in the midwest, though you have to figure he’d make an exception if the money was right.
