Rays Working On Deal With Jake Diekman
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays are working to finalize a deal with left-handed reliever Jake Diekman, per Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin. The 36-year-old was designated for assignment and released last week by the White Sox. He is expected to join the team Wednesday or Thursday. The Rays recently lost Garrett Cleavinger (knee) to season-ending knee surgery, so the hope is that Diekman would fill that role. Diekman has been a useful reliever throughout his career but had a bloated 7.94 ERA and 2.12 WHIP in his 11 1/3 innings with the White Sox.
