Marlins trade Hayden Cantrelle for Luke Williams

Hayden Cantrelle lasted less than two months in the Marlins organization. The Double-A infielder acquired by the Fish right before Opening Day was flipped to the Giants on Thursday for utility guy Luke Williams. Williams had been designated for assignment by San Francisco last weekend.

Williams, 25, is a career .245/.308/.318 hitter (73 wRC+) in 120 major league plate appearances. Most of those reps came with the Phillies last season, the team that selected him in the third round of the 2015 draft. He has experience at every infield and outfield position. The right-handed batter isn’t prospect-eligible by my criteria due to games spent on MLB active rosters.
