TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays have traded right-handed pitcher Zach Eflin to the Baltimore Orioles, according to multiple sources, including Jeff Passan of ESPN.
In 2022, the Rays signed Zach Eflin to the largest contract given to a free agent in Tampa Bay Rays history. Eflin is 5-7 this season, with a 4.09 ERA and 87 strikeouts.
This is the second trade for the Rays today, already trading outfielder Randy Arozearena to the Seattle Mariners.
At 52-51 and 9 1/2 games back in the AL East race, the Rays are in sell-mode as they approach the trade deadline on July 31.
This is also the second trade of the day for the AL East-leading Orioles, after trading for RHP Seranthony Dominguez from the Phillies.
According to ESPN's Passan, the Rays received three players in return from the Baltimore Orioles.
