HUMMEL HEADS TO SAN FRANCISCO
The San Francisco Giants acquired outfielder/catcher Cooper Hummel from the New York Mets for cash.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
Hummel is the type of versatile position player the Giants have valued in the past few seasons. He has not shown much ability at the plate in MLB yet, so he will need to improve there to stick with the Giants.
What does it give the New York Mets
Cash is the going rate for players who were recently designated for assignment. This is found money for the Mets, who claimed Hummel off waivers earlier in the off-season from the Seattle Mariners.
Fantasy impact
Hummel has not flashed enough offense in his time in MLB to be worthy of a look in many fantasy leagues.
