Trevor Richards, Nick Anderson Traded To Rays
5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays acquired pitchers Trevor Richards and Nick Anderson from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for pitcher Ryne Stanek and outfield prospect Jesus Sanchez, according to a source. Richards was demoted to the bullpen in Miami after struggling as a starter the last month, and both he and Anderson could be options to pitch in high-leverage situations in their new surroundings. Richards had a 6.33 ERA in his last five starts before being used in relief. Anderson, 29, has struck out 37.1 percent of the 186 batters he's faced this year and might be the better saves option for the Rays, but they also have Emilio Pagan and Diego Castillo.
