GIANTS GET MITCH WHITE

The San Francisco Giants acquired pitcher Mitch White from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash.

What does it give the San Francisco Giants
White provides the Giants with pitching depth, as injuries have mounted early in the season. The 29-year-old has struggled mightily the past few seasons, so he is not a great addition for San Francisco. Still, he could be an option to make a spot start or serve as a reliever in low-leverage situations. Perhaps the change of scenery will do him well.

What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
White never established himself with the Blue Jays following a trade from the Dodgers in 2022. After another subpar start to the 2024 season (5.40 ERA in 10 innings, with only 6 strikeouts), White found himself designated for assignment. It is a disappointing outcome for the once-promising pitcher, but Toronto will move forward with cash instead.

Fantasy impact
This trade has no fantasy impact. White would need to turn his career around in San Francisco to merit any interest in fantasy leagues.
