TAJ BRADLEY TO THE TWINS
The Minnesota Twins acquired pitcher Taj Bradley from the Tampa Bay Rays for pitcher Griffin Jax.
What does it give the Minnesota Twins
Bradley struggled a bit with the Rays but is still only 24 years old. There is plenty of time for him to turn things around with Minnesota, so he is a great addition for the Twins here.
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
While it is a bit surprising that Tampa Bay gave up on Bradley so early, adding Jax makes sense. The latter is a quality reliever who could see time as a closer for the Rays in 2025.
Fantasy impact
In a rare twist, both Bradley and Jax could see their fantasy stock rise following this trade. Bradley will likely be given every opportunity to succeed as part of Minnesota's revamped starting rotation. As for Jax, he could see more save opportunities with Tampa Bay down the stretch and may be worth a look.
