Rangers trade Millwood for Ray
The Texas Rangers have made their first big move of the offseason by trading pitcher Kevin Millwood to the Baltimore Orioles for reliever Chris Ray.
Millwood has been the workhorse of the staff but the Rangers made the move to help cut payroll.
The veteran will make $12 million this year, but the Rangers will only pay $3 million of that, which they sent to the O’s.
The Rangers would now like to go out and sign a more elite starting pitcher to take Millwood’s spot on the roster.
Ray has been a solid closer at times during his big league career but struggled last year coming back from Tommy John surgery.
