Rays Trade Ian Gibaut To Rangers

By George Miller | July 28, 2019 at 1:17pm CDT

The Rangers have acquired right-handed pitcher Ian Gibaut from the Rays, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The Rays will receive cash or a player to be named later in return. Gibaut was designated for assignment last week, with today marking the last day for the Rays to make a decision on his future. The Rangers announced that he has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville, while left-handed pitcher Jesse Biddle has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Gibaut has appeared in just one Major League game in his career, but his impressive minor-league track record made him a popular trade target after he was designated. Gibaut, 25 was an 11th-round draft choice of the Rays in 2015, and in four seasons impressed the organization enough to warrant his addition to the 40-man roster prior to this season.

He began the season on the injured list before throwing 12 1/3 innings in Triple-A and earning a promotion to the big leagues. In 2018, Gibaut pitched 56 innings for Triple-A Durham, striking out 75 batters and walking 21. With a record of success at every minor-league level, he looks like a good bet to receive an extended look in the Texas bullpen over the final two months.

    About 2 seconds ago I was thinking he might be a nice return for Sogard

    so they essentially downgraded from Gibaut to Fairbanks and traded a well-regarded versitile prospect for a PTBNL

        I think he means in regards to transactions with the Rangers.

    Nice score. This guy did very well in the minors, and throws 95-96moh, and is only 25. Just needs to get the walks under control

        Yeah but for cash considerations or a PTBNL it’s not a bad gamble.

        That’s the one aspect of pitching development the Rangers have actually had some success with. Jose Leclerc is the biggest success story, but they’ve broken a few wild horses over the years. Hopefully Gibaut will be the next.

    Classic Rays. Bullpen in trouble? Let’s get rid of a guy (dfa or trade) who has shown promise!
    Then, let’s trade for a utility guy who is not going to maintain his current numbers…when we have a lot of depth in that area! (Granted, injuries)
    This is why we, as Rays fans, cant have good things.

    The Rays will accept the Player to Be Named in the deal. If they accept cash, they’ll have to resubmit their SNAP verification form.

    Guessing this is setting up a replacement for when Texas trades Martin and possibly Chavez away here soon.
