- Ray, the 2021 AL Cy Young winner, has been hot this season (10-6, 3.08 ERA) and dominant recently (6-0, 1.03 ERA over his last eight starts).
- The pickup boosts San Diego’s playoff push (one game back in the wild-card race) and comes in the final year of Ray’s $25M contract, with a history of success at Petco.
