The San Francisco Giants haven’t yet announced this week’s big move (or hopefully this week’s first big move), the signing of designated hitter Jorge Soler to a three-year, $42 million deal. But on Tuesday they announced a smaller move: the acquisition of utility player Otto López.
López, who had just been designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays, was acquired in a trade for cash considerations. The Giants made space on the 40-man roster for López by designating outfielder T.J. Hopkins for assignment.
The #SFGiants and Blue Jays made a trade today with IF/OF Otto Lopez joining the Giants organization in exchange for cash considerations.
