Rays trade Jason Adam to Padres
The Rays are trading veteran reliever Jason Adam to the San Diego Padres in exchange for RHP Dylan Lesko, OF Homer Bush Jr. and a third prospect, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Lesko was the 15th overall pick in the 2022 draft, signing for $3.9 million as an 18-year old that was in the midst of Tommy John recovery. As you might imagine, that recovery has been a long road, but the Rays are not afraid of taking young pitching projects on, especially ones with pedigree.
