Pirates acquire Archer
Print Edition
The red-hot Pittsburgh Pirates bolstered their Major League Baseball playoff run on Tuesday by acquiring All-Star pitcher Chris Archer from Tampa Bay in exchange for three prospects. The Pirates beefed up their pitching rotation by adding Archer and sending the Rays outfielder Austin Meadows, pitcher Tyler Glasnow and another player who will be named in the future. Two-time All-Star Archer is 3-5 with a 4.31 ERA in 17 starts this season for the Rays. The 29-year-old joins a young starting rotation that also includes Jameson Taillon, Trevor Williams and Joe Musgrove. Archer will be paid US$7.5 million next season by the Pirates, who have won seven of their past 10 games and are third in the National League’s Central Division.
