  • Tampa Bay Rays acquire RHP Alex Faedo from Detroit Tigers


    The Tampa Bay Rays acquired right-hander Alex Faedo from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor league catcher Enderson Delgado and cash on Monday.

    The Tigers designated Faedo, 29, for assignment last week after signing Tommy Kahnle.

    Faedo, a Tampa native, went 5-3 with a 3.61 ERA in 37 games (six starts) for the Tigers in 2024. He’s 8-13 with a 4.51 ERA in 64 career games (30 starts) for the Tigers, who drafted him in the first round (No. 18 overall) of the 2017 draft.

    Delgado, 20, batted .259 with four home runs and 30 RBIs between stints in rookie ball and Class-A Charleston in 2024.

    The Rays announced that infielder Osleivis Basabe was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.



    The Tampa Bay Rays have made a big move to bolster their pitching staff by acquiring right-handed pitcher Alex Faedo from the Detroit Tigers.

    Faedo, 25, was a first-round pick (18th overall) by the Tigers in the 2017 MLB Draft out of the University of Florida. He has shown promise in the minor leagues, posting a 3.90 ERA with 305 strikeouts in 297 innings pitched.

    The Rays are hoping that Faedo can provide some much-needed depth to their rotation or bullpen as they look to make a playoff push in the highly competitive American League East.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this trade and how Faedo will fit into the Rays’ plans for the rest of the season.

  • Tigers Trade Right-Handed Pitcher Alex Faedo to the Rays


    After coming to terms on a deal with Tommy Kahnle (not to mention Jack Flaherty last night), the Detroit Tigers apparently felt they had some flexibility to sell off a pitcher. So they’d DFA’d swing man Alex Faedo, and now they’re trading him to the Rays.

    Kahnle and Flaherty in, Faedo out:

    Trade news: The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring right-hander Alex Faedo from the Detroit Tigers for minor league catcher Enderson Delgado and cash, sources tell ESPN. Faedo was a solid contributor for Detroit last year but was DFA’d after the Tigers signed Tommy Kahnle.

    — Jeff Passan (@jeffpasan.bsky.social) 2025-02-03T18:36:27.220Z

    Faedo, 29, was about 9% better than league average by results last year, mostly pitching in relief, though his peripherals were much worse. He’s still pre-arbitration so he comes quite cheaply in salary, but since he doesn’t have minor league options remaining, he’ll have to make the Rays’ Opening Day roster or hit waivers.

    In exchange, the Tigers are getting a 20-year-old catching prospect in Enderson Delgado who isn’t in the Rays’ top 30, but did hit very well as a 19-year-old switch-hitter at Low-A last season, and is thought to be a good defender. Nice get for a DFA’d pitcher, though the Tigers may have already known they could get some value for Faedo when they opted to designate him for assignment.

    As an aside, the “cash” inclusion is a little weird. Usually, if a team were trading for a DFA’d player, they would be sending ONLY cash or a player, not both. The cash, as we’ve seen a bunch of times already this offseason in deals involving the Cubs, is basically a stand-in for the waiver claim price – i.e., paying a little extra to jump to the front of the line. The Tigers are getting a player and cash in this one. It’s atypical. Doesn’t mean anything. Just atypical.

    I don’t expect that Faedo’s presence in the DFA world was holding up any other reliever moves in free agency or trade, but I suppose you never know.



    The Detroit Tigers have made a bold move by trading right-handed pitcher Alex Faedo to the Tampa Bay Rays. Faedo, a former first-round draft pick, has shown promise in the Tigers’ farm system but has yet to make a significant impact at the major league level.

    In exchange for Faedo, the Tigers are receiving a package of prospects from the Rays, including a promising young outfielder and a couple of high-upside pitchers. This trade represents a calculated risk for Detroit, as they are banking on the potential of these young players to help bolster their roster in the future.

    For the Rays, acquiring Faedo gives them another arm to add to their already formidable pitching staff. With a strong core of young talent, Tampa Bay is hoping that Faedo can develop into a key contributor for them in the years to come.

    Overall, this trade has the potential to benefit both teams in the long run, with the Tigers adding to their prospect pool and the Rays adding depth to their pitching staff. Only time will tell if this move pays off for both sides.

  • Detroit Tigers trade Alex Faedo to Rays for minor leaguer, cash






    The Detroit Tigers have made a move to bolster their minor league system by trading pitcher Alex Faedo to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for a promising minor leaguer and some cash considerations.

    Faedo, a former first-round pick by the Tigers in 2017, had been struggling to find his footing in the majors and the Tigers decided to part ways with the young pitcher in hopes of acquiring some additional talent for their farm system.

    In return, the Tigers received a promising minor leaguer from the Rays organization who has shown potential to become a key player in the future. Additionally, the Tigers also received some cash considerations in the deal, providing them with some financial flexibility moving forward.

    This trade marks a strategic move by the Tigers to continue building for the future, while also adding depth to their minor league system. Only time will tell if this trade will pay off for both teams involved. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

  • Alex Faedo traded to Rays from Tigers


    The Rays acquired right-hander from the Tigers in exchange for Minor League catcher Enderson Delgado and cash on Monday. The Rays designated infielder Osleivis Basabe for assignment to make room for Faedo on their 40-man roster.

    Detroit’s first-round pick from the 2017 Draft, the 29-year-old Faedo was designated for assignment last week when the Tigers signed reliever Tommy Kahnle. Faedo had seemingly found a role in Detroit’s bullpen after injuries stalled his career as a starter, but he ended last season on the 60-day injured list with a right shoulder strain he suffered in August. He posted a 5-3 record and 3.61 ERA in 37 games, including six starts.

    “I told Alex this is a really difficult move for us to make,” Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said. “Alex is a really popular teammate in the clubhouse. He’s gotten some really big outs for us. It’s a move we really didn’t want to make, but our 40-man [roster] is getting more talented these days and any time you add a new player to the roster, it generally means that it costs you a valuable contributor on the back end.

    TRADE DETAILS
    Rays get: RHP Alex Faedo
    Tigers get: Minor League C Enderson Delgado, cash

    “Again, I think Alex has been a really talented pitcher and has gotten some big outs for us, but I think his out-of-options status made it a little bit more difficult of a fit on our roster here.”

    Delgado, 20, was signed as an international free agent in January 2022 and split last season between Single-A Charleston and the Florida Complex League, hitting .259 with four homers and 30 RBIs in 65 games. He did not rank among the Rays’ top 30 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline.

    Faedo was optioned in 2021, 2022 and 2023. He had been granted a fourth Minor League option last offseason because he had less than five years of service in the Majors or Minors due to injuries. The Tigers didn’t use the option, but since last year counted as Faedo’s fifth year, the extra option couldn’t carry over.



    The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired pitcher Alex Faedo from the Detroit Tigers in a trade deal that has sent shockwaves through the baseball world. Faedo, who was the Tigers’ first-round draft pick in 2017, has shown great potential on the mound and is expected to bolster the Rays’ pitching rotation.

    The 25-year-old right-hander has a powerful fastball and a devastating slider, making him a valuable asset for any team. In his three seasons in the minor leagues, Faedo has compiled an impressive 3.59 ERA with 214 strikeouts in 192 innings pitched.

    The Rays, who are known for their savvy trades and ability to develop young talent, are hoping that Faedo will continue to progress and become a key contributor to their pitching staff. On the other hand, the Tigers are looking to acquire some much-needed prospects in exchange for Faedo as they continue their rebuilding process.

    It will be interesting to see how Faedo performs in his new environment and how this trade ultimately pans out for both teams. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
