Trade Details
DEREK HOLLAND HEADS TO CHICAGO Friday, July 26, 2019
The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Derek Holland and cash from the San Francisco Giants for cash.
What does it give the Chicago Cubs?
The Cubs are getting a veteran southpaw who used to be a starter but seems to have made a permanent switch to a bullpen role. He will probably be recalled to Chicago shortly and may provide solid relief from the port side.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants?
The Giants recently designated Holland for assignment, so it is no surprise that they traded him for cash considerations at this time. The 32-year-old Holland was good for San Francisco last season but struggled in 2019.
Fantasy Impact
At some point late in the '19 campaign, Holland could become a fantasy factor if used in the later innings by Chicago. His strikeout ability has appeal but he is not recommendable yet.
