"On Jan. 14, 2006, the Los Angeles Dodgers traded right-handed pitcher Edwin Jackson and southpaw Chuck Tiffany to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for right-handed relievers Danys Baez and Lance Carter, and cash considerations or a player to be named later. At the time, Jackson was a 22-year-old who was the Dodgers' best prospect but the organization gave up on him after he struggled at the Major League Level."
"Jackson made his MLB debut in 2003 as a 19-year-old and pitched 22 innings with mixed results. He posted a 2.45 ERA but he was only striking out 7.77 hitters per nine while walking 4.50 per nine. The following two seasons, Jackson pitched less than 30 innings each year and posted ERAs of 7.30 and 6.28 while his strikeout numbers regressed and his walk numbers remained similar."
On Jan. 14, 2006, the Dodgers traded Edwin Jackson and Chuck Tiffany to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for relievers Danys Baez and Lance Carter. Jackson, a 22-year-old former top prospect, had struggled in limited big-league work, finishing with a 5.50 ERA, 48 strikeouts and 39 walks in 75.1 innings for Los Angeles. Baez arrived after a 41-save season and a 2.86 ERA but posted a 4.35 ERA in 49.2 innings for the Dodgers and lost the closer role. Tiffany never advanced past Double-A, Carter had minimal impact, and Jackson became a full-time starter in 2007 who then spent several seasons as an innings-eating starter.
