GIANTS GET OTTO LOPEZ
The San Francisco Giants acquired infielder Otto Lopez from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
Since Lopez was a candidate to make the Blue Jays out of spring training last year. He should have a similar opportunity this spring. Expect him to make it on a team in need of a utility infielder off the bench.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
Lopez had been past over by younger prospects in the minor leagues, so the Blue Jays decided to move him to the Giants for monetary compensation after designating him for assignment recently. A good move for all involved.
Fantasy impact
Since Lopez struggled offensively in Triple-A ball last season, he is likely going to serve a bench role in MLB. Therefore, he offers little fantasy value.
