ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Amid the chaos of three major trades, the Tampa Bay Rays managed to win again Tuesday, beating the Angels despite more deals that continue to change the face of their franchise.
Tampa Bay (54-53) has made six trades in a week and Tuesday before the trade deadline, they traded away All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos to the Phillies and their opening-day starter Chris Archer to the Pirates. They also dealt three minor-leaguers to the Cardinals for outfielder Tommy Pham.
The Angels (54-54) made no moves at the deadline, but will face some of the Rays' newest faces Wednesday as the series continues.
