On Wednesday, the Rangers made their first major move of the offseason by unloading RHP Kevin Millwood and cash considerations to Baltimore while in turn receiving RHP Chris Ray and (most likely) Baltimore's third overall Rule 5 draft pick. The Rangers will also pick up $3M of Millwood's $12M salary for 2010.
Chris Ray has been a relief pitcher his whole career, with a career ERA of 4.11 and a career opponent batting average of 2.45.
It is also believed that Texas will use some of the money saved from Millwood's Salary to go for a free agent starting pitcher.
This trade supports the rumors that Jon Daniels is looking to give C.J. Wilson and/or Neftali Feliz a shot at the rotation come spring.
