Soriano to the Rays

Sources tell Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman that arbitration-eligible Rafael Soriano has been deal to the Tampa Bay Rays.

“[T]op reliever rafael soriano traded to #rays, pending medical review, sources say,” Heyman tweets.

It’s not clear who the Braves will get in return, although right-hander Jesse Chavez’s name has been bandied about. Soriano should compete to be a closer for the Rays.
