Introducing Mitch White, the latest local to fulfill his dreams with SF Giants

When he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays last week, Mitch White packed up his things, headed west and tried to manifest destiny. “It couldn't have worked out better,” the 29-year-old right-hander said Tuesday afternoon from his new locker in the Giants' clubhouse. Sitting at home in San Diego, White received a call from assistant general manager Jeremy Shelley, who informed him that the Giants had worked out a trade with Toronto. San Francisco sent cash considerations, and the San Jose-born pitcher would get the chance to suit up for the team he grew up rooting for.
