Tampa Bay Rays: 40-man Roster Predicaments DFA or Trade

It is the 64,000-dollar question as to what the Tampa Bay Rays will do to accommodate outfielder Colby Rasmus on the 40-man roster when they officially make the announcement of his signing to a reported one-year deal.

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes there are four possibilities, three of those would be to designate a player for assignment and the other would be a trade. The players that he speculates as being DFA’d are pitchers Ryan Garton or Eddie Gamboa, outfielder Jason Coats and possibly even a trade involving Erasmo Ramirez.
