Rays acquire Jack Suwinski from Dodgers before trade deadline

The Tampa Bay Rays completed a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers just before the MLB trade deadline, sending catcher Hunter Feduccia and minor league pitcher Jacob Kmatz to Los Angeles. In exchange, the Rays received outfielder Jack Suwinski, who has played nearly 400 MLB games and recently made significant swing adjustments while in the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate. Suwinski's improvements have resulted in a notable rise in his contact rate this season. The Rays aim to bolster their outfield depth with his addition as both Fraley and Melton have been sidelined by injuries. Suwinski is under team control for several more years, making him an appealing depth option for the organization.
