Tuesday BP: Mitch White expected to join Giants today
Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty ImagesA few days ago, with news that Alex Cobb would be moved to the 60-Day Injured List while he works his way through a few rehab setbacks, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants traded some sweet cash money to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed pitcher Mitch White, who had been designated for assignment.
I recommend reading Bryan’s analysis on White, but the TL;DR is this: White was once a top prospect with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who drafted him when Farhan Zaidi was working for them. White struggled quite a bit with the Blue Jays — we’re talking a 7.26 ERA in 65.2 innings — and those struggles persisted even when he was moved o a relief role.
