Nick Ahmed Joins San Francisco Giants on Minor League Deal

The former Diamondbacks shortstop aims to make the Opening Day roster and strengthen the Giants' infield defense.

Nick Ahmed has signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants, including a spring training invite.
The 33-year-old shortstop previously spent 10 seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, winning two Gold Gloves.
Ahmed aims to use his release from the Diamondbacks as motivation to 'beat the Diamondbacks' now that he's with the Giants.
He will compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster against Giants prospects and is seen as a veteran presence with a strong defensive profile.
Ahmed's signing addresses the Giants' need for infield defense improvement, especially at shortstop.
