The Rays have struck a deal to acquire righty Chaz Roe from the Braves, per Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com (via Twitter). Cash considerations will go to Atlanta in return, per Tommy Stokke of Fan Rag (Twitter link).
This move likely won’t satisfy Tampa Bay’s desire for a bullpen upgrade. But the 30-year-old will add another option to the relief corps. He’ll presumably head to Triple-A Durham; the Braves had previously outrighted Roe off the 40-man roster after activating him from a lengthy DL stint.
Roe made only three appearances before he was felled by a lat strain. He has seen action in each of the last five seasons, typically delivering appealing strikeout rates but also too many free passes. Over his 97 1/3 career MLB innings, Roe owns a 4.16 ERA.
HOT STOVE!!!
yes that stove is really producing adequate heat at this point, have no idea who chaz roe is but whoa whoa whoa
Hot stove is the trade period during the winter. I don’t need a stove this tome of year. 101 here today.
Depth is always good.
Especially if you’re a humpback anglerfish.
Perplexing move. Roe went on the DL in April. He’s made 4 rehab appearances. In the last two he gave up 5 ER without recording an out and 3 ER in 1 IP. I doubt he’s anywhere near ready to pitch in the majors.
Roe was quite effective at the end of 2016. Unfortunately in 2017 he was totally inadequate.
That’s not really the big issue. Yes, he three uninspiring outings in April. After that he went on the DL. He didn’t pitch for two and a half months before pitching an inning on June 29 and another on July 2. He got shelled on July 5 and then didn’t pitch again for 12 days. He pitched last night finally with somewhat disappointing results.
He might be effective again but to show he is he’d need to pitch some innings over the next 2-3 weeks.
BOOM! Watch out now.
It makes good sense for the Rays. They get an interesting arm at hardly no cost at all that they can control beyond this year. We had to get Mallex Smith back as the return for Roe, right ;p….
Lol we wish
Calling it now, Roe for Archer, Longoria and a draft pick….. Also cash to offset longorias contract. Coppy does it again.
Nah, take out longoria and put in Honeywell….we have to be reasonable in our expectations
More like Roe for Archer, lingo, and lot more
1.38 in international slot value, give or take. Those trades are the new PTBNL deals.
Roe for McKay straight up. Roe might be a little bit of an overpay to be honest so the rays would probably have to throw in Chris Archer.
Archer, Longotia and Morrison
Roe is going to carry Tampa to their first ring.
Good riddance,. Now get rid of Krol.
Snitker has a serious hard on for Krol
He needs to be released and all of his uniforms need to be burned. I never want to see him on that mound again or hear his name after last night.
Dude calm down it’s not only him that cost the game Tehran once again folded under pressure
Krol is consistently bad. He blows almost every appearance he makes.
He’s the worst player on our roster.
Exactly. Teheran is fine until he makes one mistake and then he falls apart. He’s a head case. Krol still sucks though.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the only reason he’s on the team is to lay the foundation to leave such a bad taste in ATL fans’ mouths that when his replacement, AJ Minter, is ready, he’ll be a savior from his first IP. This is similar to the legend of Dansby Swanson replacing the least valuable player of 2016, Erick Aybar.
Teheran is fine until he pitches at home đ era over 7 in 10 home starts, 2.50 in 9 road starts
Wonder how much cash they gave up for that bum. $25 gift card to amazon? Freaking awful, I truly don’t understand how Coppy is able to pull of these trades. How in the world did he talk the rays into this deal? He will cost them more games than he helps. The risk isn’t worth any cost.
Considering he cleared waivers last week, I would imagine Silverman paid less than the waiver claim fee of $20,000.
Poor kid is really bad.
Good luck in Tampa
actually, Durham.
