Multi-tasking!

Manny got an autograph!

— Cespedes Family BBQ (@CespedesBBQ) March 12, 2015 Ramirez should have given Ferrell some tips on how to hit. Ouch.
Ferrell has arrived at Salt River Fields and is in the game in left field for the D-backs! Someone might want to move him in a bit, though.

Ferrell’s positioning -- and the fact that, you know, he’s not a baseball player -- resulted in three extra-base hits for the Reds that inning. D-backs pitcher J.C. Ramirez, who is trying to win a job, probably wasn’t too happy.
J.C. Ramirez that inning -- three strikeouts, four hits, one walk, two doubles, one triple, three runs.
— Zach Buchanan (@azc_zachb) March 12, 2015 He might be a poor outfielder, but at least Ferrell has good form.

Tony LaRussa doesn’t agree. He and the D-backs didn’t even wait until the end of the game to cut ties with their newest player.

The Reds put in a quick waiver claim or something and added Ferrell to their spring roster.

Cincinnati’s newest addition took part in some sunflower seed-related hijinks before entering the game as a defensive replacement at third base in the eighth inning.
Traded yet again, Will Ferrell is fitting right in with his @Reds teammates. #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/s3spHwJMpQ

Sadly, Ferrell's time with the Reds came to a quick-but-justifiable end.
We had too much trouble spelling his name so #Reds place on waivers 3B John William Ferrell, giving him his unconditional release.

On to the next one. Notice the uniform ...

Ferrell has arrived at Camelback Ranch. Pay particular attention to the entrance music.

— World Champs (@SFGiants) March 13, 2015 And, he’s improved drastically as a hitter as the day has worn on!
— Grant Brisbee (@mccoveychron) March 13, 2015
OH NO, HE’S HURT:

Not bad enough for the Giants to avoid acquiring him, though.

— World Champs (@SFGiants) March 13, 2015
He’s still wearing White Sox pants. Someone notify the league office of this embarrassment to baseball. That looks like what Bruce Bochy might be thinking, anyway.
That escalated quickly. #FerrellTakesTheField pic.twitter.com/b0QntAVVeA
