The Rays made a long-awaited trade with the A's, sending Jeffrey Springs and Jacob Lopez for a right-hander, two minor leaguers, and a 2025 draft pick.
ESPN's Jeff Passan noted that with Springs traded, the Rays are 'less likely' to part with Zack Littell this winter.
Littell, who pitched 156 1/3 innings last year, is seen as potentially the most durable arm for the Rays heading into 2025.
With recent injuries to key pitchers, retaining a solid sixth starter like Littell becomes crucial for managing the team's rotation risks.
