Twins Acquire AZ Cast-off Soft-Tossing Reliever Taylor Rashi

[bean5302]

Falzoll struck while the iron was hot after forwarding the case of Gatorade and box of Snickers bars acquired by moving Simeon Woods Richardson to Toronto. The package was forwarded to Arizona along for a soft-tossing righty named Taylor Rashi who the Diamondbacks had just DFA'd.

Rashi made his debut for a handful of innings last year at age 29, and while his K rate was impressive, it seemed more luck based than skill. He's been hit hard this year, again in a very SSS, and he walks quite few batters which is a little unexpected given his 91mph fastball. Rashi's had some mediocre results in AA and AAA the past few years, but Stuff+ doesn't look highly upon any of Rashi's offerings. He does come with all 3 options... meaning AZ wasn't even willing to spend an option on the pre-arb pitcher. 

Can't fathom why Falzoll made this move. I think he might be trolling fans.
