The Rays and Brewers agreed to terms on a minor swap earlier today that sent catcher to Tampa Bay in exchange for right-hander . The Rays have announced the swap. Jackson, 27, was the sixth selection overall in the 2014 draft by the Mariners and made his big league debut with the Luis Matos Jersey Braves in 2019. Though hes appeared in the majors every season since then, hes never managed to stick on a big league roster or hit in the majors, with a career slash line of just .141/.243/.227 in 185 major league plate appearances. Hes hit better in the minor leagues, with a career slash line of .244/.327/.523 in 905 trips to the plate at the Triple-A level. Between those minor league results, his previous draft pedigree, and his relative youth, Jackson is an interesting depth addition for a Rays club that needed additional catching depth after went on the injured list with a sprained knee two weeks ago. To acquire Jackson, theyll part with McKendry, a 25-year-old pitching prospect the club selected in the ninth round of the 2019 draft. With a career 4.00 ERA in 110 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level and a 23.6% strikeout rate during that time, McKendry figures to provide the Brewers with upper-level pitching depth going forward, a particularly valuable commodity given right-hander s recent placement on the injured list. While the Rays have dealt with plenty of pitching injuries of their own, McKendrys lo s is made up for by of right-hander , to say nothing of that brought back . Jakson Reetz Jersey
