Rays land De Leon, deal Forsythe to Dodgers

The Rays on Monday parted ways with second baseman Logan Forsythe and made two additions to their pitching staff. Tampa Bay acquired right-hander Jose De Leon from the Dodgers in exchange for Forsythe, and it also signed righty Shawn Tolleson to a one-year deal valued at $1 million, plus $1.15 million in incentives, the club announced.

"We are very excited to add Jose De Leon to the Rays organization. He's a talented starting pitching prospect who can soon become a key member of our Major League rotation," general manager Erik Neander said in a statement.
