The Tampa Bay Rays are officially sellers at the 2018 trade deadline, and in return for Nathan Eovaldi, the Rays received 25-year-old LHP Jalen Beeks from the Red Sox, the organization’s No. 6 prospect, per Baseball America.
Beeks reached the majors for the first time this season, but his first two appearances weren’t great. His debut saw six runs allowed in four innings of work against Detroit, and in a relief appearance later in July, he allowed three runs in 2 1⁄3 innings against Texas.
In Triple-A , however, he was one of the most effective pitchers in the International League, named to the Triple-A All-Star Game.
