Rays trade starting pitcher for prospect
July 3, 2024 - The Tampa Rays have traded starting pitcher Aaron Civale to the Milwaukee Brewers for infield prospect Gregory Barrios. Civale struggled throughout the season, and the move clears space in what will soon be a crowded pitching rotation as Shane Baz and Jeffrey Springs return from injury. Barrios, 20, has shown promise in the minor leagues, and the Rays will save roughly $2.5 million by sending Civale to Milwaukee.
