Rays To Sign Casey Sadler

By Jeff Todd | January 25, 2019 at 5:45pm CDT

The Rays have agreed to a minors deal with righty Casey Sadler. John Dreker of Pirates Prospects first reported the news in December (via Twitter). The pact includes an invitation to participate in MLB Spring Training.

For a Tampa Bay club that has increasingly utilized quite a volume of different pitchers throughout the season, depth is paramount. Sadler, 28, will present the organization with another swingman piece to consider for a multi-inning relief role.

While he has seen MLB action in three campaigns, Sadler remains an out away from his 20th frame at the game’s highest level. He spent all of 2018 at Triple-A with the Pirates organization, which originally drafted him in the 25th round in 2010. In 77 innings for Indianapolis, Sadler worked to a 3.39 ERA with 7.1 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9.

    Something tells me this guy will spin like 50-60 innings of 3 or sub 3 ball. The Rays front office is arguably smartest in the game

        He was a pretty good pitcher until the injuries hit.

    25th round in 2010 & still playing. He sounds like a good acquisition for that reason alone. No harm on a minors deal.

    He was in the Pirates organization for many years and when his time was due his arm gave out.I think he has some talent and deserves a solid chance.He may be the type of guy who finally makes it into a decent career late.The Rays are smart and talented in a coaching manner to maximize his chances.Good luck to him.

      If he can be trusted with an inning a couple days a week he might be their opener. The Rays have a ver intuitive front office.

    I’m sure he’ll strike out the side against Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez on some hot as heck night in August. He can tell his grandkids about that one day.
