The Tampa Bay Rays have traded RHP Zack Littell to the Cincinnati Reds in a three team deal that also includes the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rays received RHP Brian Van Belle and LHP Adam Serwinowski from the Reds and then included Serwinowski in a deal that also sent RHP Paul Gervase and catcher Ben Rortvedt to Los Angeles for catcher Hunter Fedducia.
Littell has been arguably the most dependable starting pitcher in the Rays rotation for several years while Ben Rortvedt was a solid catching option for much of the 2024 season. Meanwhile, Gervase looked to be an emerging option in the bullpen after carving through Triple-A hitters with ease.
