The Tampa Bay Rays made multiple roster moves before their Saturday day game with the New York Mets.
Let’s start with the trade. The Rays traded relief pitcher Hunter Strickland to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for cash considerations, or a player to be named later. Mike Trout maybe?
Hunter Strickland signed a minor-league deal with the Tampa Bay Rays in the offseason and didn’t start the season in the majors. The Rays selected Strickland from the alternate site on April 9th and has been with the club since.
