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.
