Career -0.3 bWAR.
This is a distraction trade. Nothing more.

Results with the Rays were pretty good. Made their OD roster. Seemed to find something in the minors in 16&17. Was a pretty well known sleeper by last season. Not sure if there's a lot of upside but should provide some innings but out of options so he'll get an extended look.

He was a fave on FG going into last season. Good underlying results this year without run prevention to match, sort of the opposite of what he did with TB last year.
No cost, and pretty clearly an upgrade on the Rhame, Seward, Flexen, Oswalt, Lockett, group of garbage. So, I like it- but also finally a tacit admission that the depth sucks hard.
