The Tampa Bay Rays have traded starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league infielder Jermaine Palacios, it was announced Saturday night
Odorizzi, who had been the subject of trade speculation this winter, went 10-8 with a 4.14 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 2017. He played five seasons in Tampa Bay after being traded from the Royals in December 2012. He has a 3.83 ERA for his career.
Earlier in the week, Chris Archer had said he believed the Rays were capable of having the best rotation in the major leagues.
