Rays acquire infielder Wisely and left-hander Waldichuk from Braves for cash or player to be named
The Braves cleared roster space by trading two low-impact players, Waldichuk and Wisely, to the Rays for cash or a player to be named later.
- On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Brett Wisely and left-handed pitcher Ken Waldichuk from the Atlanta Braves for cash or a player to be named later.
- Facing roster constraints, the Braves DFA'd Waldichuk on Saturday after signing Tyler Kinley to an $825K contract to form a 4-man roster.
- Wisely offered limited production with Atlanta, recording no hits and three walks in nine plate appearances, while Waldichuk pitched in 2022–23 with Oakland but missed nearly three years in MLB.
- The Rays cleared roster spots by designating Osvaldo Bido and Tsung Che-Cheng for assignment, while the Braves acquired cash that may fund a backup catcher as Sean Murphy may miss the start of the 2026 season.
- The move reconnects a player with his original club after being a 15th-round draft pick in 2019, while both players had been DFA-type additions amid offseason roster churn in Atlanta.
