Twins Bolster Staff in Trade with Tampa Bay

Right-handed pitcher Jake Odorizzi was traded by the Tampa Bay Rays to the Minnesota Twins late Saturday night. In exchange, the Rays received minor league shortstop prospect Jermaine Palacios. Odorizzi, who made his MLB debut in 2012 with the Kansas City Royals, has spent the last five seasons with the Rays.

In 28 starts with the Rays in 2017, Odorizzi went 10-8 while posting an ERA of 4.14. He has a 40-38 career record with a 3.83 ERA with 643 strikeouts. The 27-year-old will make his return to the AL Central this season.

This move comes days after Minnesota signed 33-year-old veteran starting pitcher Aníbal Sánchez to a one-year $2 million deal in free agency. Sánchez was with the Marlins from 2006-2012 and the Detroit Tigers from 2012-2017. While with Detroit, Sánchez posted the best ERA in the American League in 2013 (2.57). However, he has struggled mightily the last three seasons posting an ERA of 4.99 in 2015, 5.87 in 2016, and 6.41 in 2017.

The signing of Sánchez was met with a lot of criticism from Twins fans, mostly due to his poor play in recent years. Not to mention the fact that he will be turning 34 later this month. Twins fans were critical of the move. They claimed the front office hadn’t done enough to address the teams needs at starting pitcher. Those needs were elevated with ace Ervin Santana undergoing surgery on his right middle finger. The surgery will sideline Santana for the first month or so of the season.

The Twins had plenty of middle infield depth and could afford to deal away a shortstop. What they were lacking was starting pitching. After this latest move, it is safe to say that their front office has taken a step in the right direction in addressing that need.
