First trades in Tampa Bay Rays history: “With the Atlanta Braves”

As the end of spring training approached in 2005, the Devil Rays and Atlanta Braves found themselves with a surplus of players. The Rays had too many pitchers and the Braves had too many guys up the middle, so they made a deal to send utility infielder Nick Green to Tampa Bay for right-handed pitcher, Jorge Sosa. It was a minor swap, involving small role players.

It was such a minor move that it is near impossible to find more than a paragraph on the move, and thus far has been impossible to find any semblance of a quote from either side.
