TB & PIT Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

TB sends:
2025 Minors Draft 3rd Round Pick (PHI)

PIT sends:

TJ McFarland, RP (OAK) - 24: $0.7M

TB Logic:
Flipping the pick I acquired this morning for one more RP to reinforce my depth. Between this move and my others, I have added some arms who can hopefully help strand inherited runners.

Nice talks with Rod as always, thank you and good luck!

[Pirates GM (Rod)]

I confirm. Even if I manage to win my division, my team is banged up and I have no realistic shot to win the title. I need to recoup picks and I figured that a rental reliever was a good place to start.

Good negotiations with Bailey and best of luck to the Rays.
