In an effort to help clinch a playoff spot in the final week of the 2016 regular season, the San Francisco Giants acquired infielder Gordon Beckham from the Atlanta Braves Tuesday.
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle was the first to report that the deal was close. MLB.com's Mark Bowman later confirmed the news and added that Atlanta will receive cash as part of the trade.
Since the waiver trade deadline has passed, Beckham will not be eligible for the Giants' postseason roster should they make it.
