TB-ATL Trade 11/11/21 9:12 am ET

[kidd5jersey]

:TB: Rays Receive:
SP Clayton Kershaw 8m (2023)

:ATL: Braves receive:
SP Cal Quantrill (P-2022)
P Patrick Weigel (P-N/A)
C Alex Jackson (P-2024)

Rays accept this deal. We moved Blake Snell yesterday to clear the cap to make this deal possible. Kershaw has shorter term which gives the Rays better flexibility.  If healthy, I believe he can be a game changer. I had depth at C to extract from and have several good young arms to replace Quantrill and Weigel.

Braves to confirm.

:ATL: confirms.

In our 1st  :trade: on this site, it was necessary to gain some cap space and receive :MLB: assets in return such as Quantrill who can hopefully be a part of the future. Kershaw at his salary and his injury history was not going to fetch a lot so it's better to strike while someone has interest.
