It’s a really small sample size, but Griffin Jax’s start with the Rays has been inauspicious. He gave up a 3 run home run to Cal Raleigh the other night, which lost the game for the Rays and in another outing he gave up a run, so his ERA’s over 10 with the Rays and pushing near 5.00 for the season.
We know that Jax has a live arm, strikes out a lot of batters and was lights out in ‘24, but he’s stunk for most of ‘25, going back to April when he was a big part of several demoralizing early season losses. He’s 30 years old. We have no idea what Bradley will contribute to the Twins yet, but it might not have been the worst idea to grant Jax’s trade request.
