Reliever Trades
Waiver deals are starting to happen. The Tampa Bay Rays get Chad Bradford from the Orioles.
The Rays claimed the submarining right-hander on waivers, then got him from the Orioles in a trade for a player to be named.
The 33-year-old Bradford is 3-3 with a 2.45 ERA this year. The durable reliever has made 47 appearances and thrown 40 1-3 innings.
The Tampa defense needs to be at their best with Bradford on the mound. His K per 9 is way down this season, just 2.9 K per 9 innings. He does, however, have great control and gives up few home runs. He certainly adds depth to the Rays bullpen.
The Marlins broadcast reported the Phillies picked up Scott Eyre from the Cubs for a minor leaguer. Scott is having a strange season as he's giving up lots of hits despite lots of strikeouts.
Update: Here's the story on Eyre.
