A'S BRING IN BRENT HONEYWELL JR.
The Oakland Athletics acquired pitcher Brent Honeywell Jr. from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash.
What does it give the Oakland Athletics
In Honeywell Jr., the Athletics land a quality pitching prospect whose career has (so far) been derailed by a myriad of injuries. If he can finally stay on the field, Honeywell Jr. has a chance to be a great find for the A's. He will probably compete for a roster spot in spring training (if fully healthy).
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays waited (and waited, and waited) for Honeywell Jr. to get healthy in order to feature him as part of their pitching staff. He made three appearances (two starts) for Tampa Bay in 2021 but went down to injury yet again. The organization ran out of patience with him.
Fantasy impact
His talent should always keep him fully on the fantasy radar. However, Honeywell Jr. comes with massive risk, so do not draft him too early in 2022.
