Nick Ahmed News
Free-agent shortstop Nick Ahmed signed a minor-league deal with the San Francisco Giants on Monday. The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Ahmed and long-time Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford battled for the National League Gold Glove at the 6 for a while, with Ahmed winning it in 2018-19 while playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 33-year-old veteran will give the Giants a backup option to rookie Marco Luciano at shortstop in 2024. Ahmed really struggled at the plate in his 10th season in the desert last year, slashing just .212/.257/.303 with two home runs, 17 RBI, five stolen bases and 14 runs scored in 72 games played before he was released in September. Unless Luciano misses extended time with an injury, Ahmed isn't going to be attractive in many fantasy leagues.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated shortstop Nick Ahmed for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the roster for the newly promoted Jordan Lawlar. The 33-year-old has spent his entire 10-year career in Arizona, where he posted a .234/.288/.376 slash line with 70 bombs and 41 steals. Ahmed appeared in only 72 games this season, as he produced an ugly .212 average with two homers, 14 runs, 17 RBI, and five stolen bases. The two-time Gold Glove award winner isn't really known for his bat, and fantasy managers should continue to leave him on the waiver wire, even if he gets a shot with another club.
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said shortstop Nick Ahmed (shoulder), who is coming off shoulder surgery, is unlikely to play every day early in the season. The D-backs will look to ease Ahmed back into action while also keeping young shortstop Geraldo Perdomo active. Perdomo hit just .195/.285/.262 with a .547 OPS, five home runs, 40 RBI, 58 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 148 games in 2022 in his first full major-league seasons, so he'll need to play better to hold off Ahmed once he's back to full health. Ahmed played in only 17 games last year due to his shoulder injury, and the 33-year-old also isn't much to look at offensively, but he has much more experience and is solid with the glove at the 6. He should only be stashed in NL-only leagues.
