GARRETT CLEAVINGER TO TAMPA BAY

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired pitcher Garrett Cleavinger from the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder German Tapia.

What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays get a decent reliever with MLB experience. Cleavinger should become a factor for Tampa Bay at some point in '22. They do well with this pitcher type.

What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers get a long-range outfield prospect in Tapia, who is several years away from roster contention. He is a good deal for Cleavinger.

Fantasy impact
Cleavinger has some sneaky fantasy upside but for now will be a depth reliever for Tampa Bay. Tapia is years away from landing on the fantasy radar.
