It was a busy day for the Tampa Bay Rays as they were involved in several selections during the annual Rule 5 draft on Wednesday evening.
Having a cleared a spot on the 40-man roster earlier in the day by trading LHP Brooks Raley to the New York Mets, the Rays were able to make an addition to their roster during the draft. However, when it came time for them to make a selection, they passed.
Instead, the Rays had already made an agreement beforehand with the Colorado Rockies, who had the 6th overall selection in the draft.
