Dealt to TB in Springs trade The Athletics traded Boyle, Jacob Watters and Will Simpson to the Rays on Saturday in exchange for Jeffrey Springs, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Impact After showing a lot of promise as a prospect in 2023, Boyle wasn't quite able to live up to the hype in '24, accumulating a 6.42 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 47.2 innings while missing a month of the season with lower-back problems. He'll now attempt to turn things around following a change of scenery, though there's no guarantee the 25-year-old begins his Rays tenure in the big leagues.
