Right-handed reliever Oliver Drake made history last season when he pitched for five teams, going from the Brewers to the Indians to the Angels to the Blue Jays to the Twins.

The Rays “won” the competition for him this off-season, first claiming him on waivers, then DFA-ing him and losing him on wiavers to Toronto, then trading to get him back.
