White Sox Acquire Jake Cave From Rays for Cash
Tampa Bay deals outfielder Jake Cave to Chicago on a minor league basis, with Cave eligible for the postseason if acquired before Sept. 1 cutoff.
The Rays have traded outfielder Jake Cave to the White Sox in exchange for cash considerations, per beat reporter Marc Topkin. Cave was on a minor league deal with Tampa Bay and had not been added to the major league roster this season, making him eligible for trade after the deadline. Because the deal is completed before the September 1 cutoff, Cave is eligible for the postseason with Chicago even in a non-roster capacity.
