Rays deal Dickerson to Pirates

Tampa Bay traded All-Star designated hitter Corey Dickerson to Pittsburgh in exchange for relief pitcher Daniel Hudson, minor league infielder Tristan Gray and cash.

The 28-year-old Dickerson was designated for assignment last Saturday. He was the American League’s starting designated hitter in last summer’s All-Star game but struggled at the plate the second half of the season. The trade lets the Rays shed Dickerson’s $5.95-million salary.
