GIANTS GET RELIEVER JAKE BARRETT
The San Francisco Giants acquired pitcher Jake Barrett from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
The Giants hope Barrett can revert back to his 2016 form while with Arizona. He has struggled the past two seasons but has the type of arm that is worth another chance.
What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks recently designated Barrett for assignment, so they did well to at least get back some cash for his services. He only made 35 appearances for Arizona since '16.
Fantasy impact
Barrett has the stuff to eventually become a central figure in San Francisco's bullpen, but his lack of consistency is worrisome. For now, it is wise to take a wait-and-see approach with him.
