Hunter Feduccia Traded to Rays in Three-Team Deal
The Dodgers have traded away their long-time minor league catcher as part of a three-team deal involving the Tampa Bay Rays and Cincinnati Reds.
LOS ANGELES, CA—The Los Angeles Dodgers have joined the trade deadline action on late Wednesday night, reportedly trading long-time minor league catcher Hunter Feduccia to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-team deal, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Going back to the Dodgers are left-handed pitcher Adam Serinowski, right-hander pitcher Paul Gervase, and catcher Ben Rortvedt.
Full trade breakdown:
Dodgers receive: LHP Adam Serwinowski, RHP Paul Gervase, C Ben Rortvedt
Rays receive: C Hunter Feduccia, RHP Brian Van Belle
Reds receive: RHP Zack Littell
Gervase is currently playing in the Minor Leagues but made his MLB debut with the Rays this season. He has a 3.12 ERA and averages fourteen strikeouts per nine innings in Triple-A Durham.
Rortvedt has also been with the Rays’ Triple-A affiliate but has appeared in the Majors during parts of the 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025 seasons.
Serinowski joins the Dodgers after progressing to High-A with the Reds organization this season.
The Dodgers' decision to move on from 28-year-old backstop Hunter Feduccia is not surprising, given Dalton Rushing's rise in the organization over the last three seasons.
Feduccia was added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster last season and had a handful of appearances between 2024 and 2025, but was not a part of the team’s long-term plans at the position with Will Smith under contract for eight more seasons.
Rortvedt, who isn't on the 40-man roster, fills in for Los Angeles’ lost catching depth at Triple-A. At 27, he’s younger than Feduccia but has more MLB experience, with a .186/.276/265 batting line over 209 games.
This year, he batted just .095 in twenty-six MLB games before Tampa Bay placed him on waivers. He is currently batting .183 in nineteen Triple-A games and will become a minor league free agent at season's end if the Dodgers don’t promote him beforehand.
