DICKERSON DEALT TO SAN FRANCISCO
The San Francisco Giants acquired outfielder Alex Dickerson from the San Diego Padres for pitcher Franklin Van Gurp.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
The Giants have desperately tried to find solutions to their outfield woes this season, so Dickerson is simply the latest in a long line of candidates that have come and gone. He will start out in the minors but may move quickly back to MLB for offensively-challenged San Francisco.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
The Padres recently designated Dickerson for assignment, so they were at least able to get back an asset. Van Gurp is a 23-year-old right-hander who reached double-A ball earlier in 2019. The reliever is likely a season (or two) away from challenging for a spot in San Diego's bullpen.
Fantasy impact
There is nothing to see here, as both Dickerson and Van Gurp are long shots to ever make a fantasy impact with their new organizations.
