CASEY SADLER SENT TO THE DODGERS

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher Casey Sadler from the Tampa Bay Rays for pitcher Nathan Witt.

What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
In Sadler, the Dodgers land a right-hander who turns 29 later this month. He has 39 innings of MLB experience under his belt and will almost surely see time in LA later this season. He adds decent bullpen depth for the Dodgers.

What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays recently designated Sadler for assignment, so they did well here to at least receive a future asset back. Witt is not much of a prospect (he is already 23 years old and is a reliever who has yet to reach high Single-A ball).

Fantasy impact
Sadler may see some action pitching out of the bullpen at Chavez Ravine, but his fantasy prospects are dim. Ditto for Witt, who still has a long way to go in order to become a fantasy asset.
