Bad news out of Rays’ camp today. Or is it good news?
Recent rule 5 draft pick Kevin Gadea has been sidelined for at least 4 weeks due to elbow tendinitis. According to a report from Marc Topkin (and through what can be inferred by Gadea’s lack of appearances this Spring), the Rays were planning on sending Gadea back to the Mariners in the near future.
The decision was a consequence of time. With Spring coming to a close, the Rays were not able to give Gadea a long enough leash to prove himself.
