Rays' Calvin Faucher: Traded to Tampa Bay

Faucher and Nelson Cruz were traded from the Twins to the Rays on Thursday in exchange for Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman.

Faucher began the 2021 campaign at Double-A Wichita, and he's posted a lackluster 7.34 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 30.2 innings across 19 relief appearances. The right-hander will likely report to Double-A Montgomery to begin his time with his new organization.
