MLB Trade Deadline: The Texas Rangers late tonight (early today?) announced that they have traded closer Keone Kela to the Pittsburgh Pirates for...well, we don’t know because it’s 1:00 in the dang morning.
Kela had sort of become the relief prize on the market here at the tail end of the trading period as he blossomed into the role of closer for Texas this season and now he’s on the move.
On the year, Kela is 24 of 25 in save opportunities with an ERA of 3.44 in 36 2⁄3 innings.
