“Trade restaurant” Tampa Bay moves… Outfielder Reilly-Pitcher Kitridge arrangement
The Tampa Bay Rays, which are called “trade restaurants” by overcoming the limitations of the small market by strengthening their power through trade, have made two trades a day.
The Rays announced two trades on the 6th (Korea Standard Time).
First, the team hired infielder Jose Caballero (27) on the condition that it gave up outfielder Luke Reilly (29) to the Seattle Mariners.
Reilly was acquired in a trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers in March 2022. Corner outfield is the main position.
He played in 118 games in the 2023 season, gaining the most opportunities since his debut. He had a batting average of 0.249 percent, an on-base percentage of 0.333, a slugging percentage of 0.490 and 19 homers and 49 RBIs.
As a left-handed hitter, he showed strong performance, especially against right-handed pitchers with an OPS of 0.834.
Seattle acquired another outfielder on the same day, following Mitch Hanniger.
Caballero is a Panamanian player who was hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks ahead of the trade deadline in 2019.
Since his debut in the big league in the 2023 season, he has posted a batting average of 0.221, an on-base percentage of 0.343, a slugging percentage of 0.320 with four homers, 26 RBIs and 26 stolen bases. He can play second base, shortstop, and third base.
Thirty minutes later, he announced that he would recruit outfielder Rich Palacios (26) on the condition that he give up right-hander Andrew Kitridge (33) to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Kitridge pitched in 181 games in seven seasons with Tampa Bay, going 18-7 with 15 saves and a 3.65 ERA. He was named an All-Star in 2021.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery during the 2022 season, he returned in August 2023 and pitched 11 2/3 innings in 14 games, posting a 3.09 ERA and 0.8 home runs and 1.5 walks and 7.7 strikeouts per 1.2009 innings of WHIP.
Palacios made his big league debut with the Cleveland Guardians in 2022 and played for st. Louis in 2023.
He played in 86 games for the two teams, and posted a batting average of 0.244 on-base percentage of 0.299 with a slugging percentage of 0.390. In the 2023 season, he recorded a batting average of 0.258 with six homers and 16 RBIs in 32 games.
He is the younger brother of Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Josh Palacios.
