The Tampa Bay Rays made a couple significant moves, dealing away pitcher Jake Odorizzi to the Minnesota Twins and trading for Los Angeles Angels 1B C.J. Cron. For the Cron move, the Rays opened up a 40-man roster by designating outfielder Corey Dickerson for assignment. Dickerson was scheduled to earn $5.95M after defeating the Rays in arbitration and is under team control through the 2019 season. Given that he has two seasons of control at a reasonable cost and can play in the outfield, the chances of the Diamondbacks being able to claim him on waivers is almost zero considering they’re 25th on the waiver priority, the only realistic way the Diamondbacks can acquire the soon-to-be 29-year-old outfielder is through a trade.
