Christian Bethancourt Traded to Rays from A's for Christian Fernandez, Cal Stevenson

The Oakland Athletics announced Saturday they traded catcher Christian Bethancourt to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for two minor league players, right-handed pitcher Christian Fernandez and outfielder Cal Stevenson.

Bethancourt returned to the majors for the first time since 2017 when he was recalled by the A's in mid-April. He's compiled a .249/.298/.385 slash line with four home runs in 56 MLB games this season.

Neither Fernandez nor Stevenson is listed among the Rays' top 30 prospects by MLB.com.
