In Mitch White, the Giants are acquiring a local who went to Bellarmine and Santa Clara, as well as someone Zaidi knows from Los Angeles. But most importantly, they're adding an experienced arm to a bullpen that has solidified since a rough first road trip.
The Giants acquired him for cash considerations, ending a very rough run in Canada. White had a 3.58 ERA in parts of three seasons with the Dodgers but was at 7.26 in 24 appearances for the Blue Jays -- albeit with a 4.10 FIP that indicates there was a lot of bad luck.
White is expected to arrive Monday and should provide a long relief option for Bob Melvin, who has had to rely on rookie relievers quite a bit over the first month.
