When the Rays traded Chris Archer to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Tyler Glasnow and Austin Meadows, there was a third piece missing, one that all parties agreed would be much bigger than a simple PTBNL. Well that player has been named, and it is right-handed pitcher Shane Baz, according to reports.
Baz, who is currently ranked fourth in the Pirates prospect system and 95 on the overall MLB Pipeline top 100, is a legitimately great score for the Rays as part of the Archer trade.
