Pirates acquire reliever Keone Kela from Rangers
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired reliever Keone Kela from the Texas Rangers for left-hand prospect Taylor Hearn and a player to be named later.
This doesn't bode well for Kela's fantasy outlook, as he will move into a setup role ahead of Felipe Vazquez in Pittsburgh's bullpen. Alex Claudio could be the favorite for the Rangers' ninth-inning job if Jake Diekman is also traded.
Kela converted 24-of-25 saves and recorded a 3.44 ERA with 44 strikeouts and 14 walks across 36 2/3 innings (38 outings) for the Rangers while averaging 5.7 FanDuel points per appearance.
