Monday’s trade that sent Matt Moore to the San Francisco Giants resulted in the Tampa Bay Rays acquiring four players. Three players are prospects who a still a few years away from playing in the majors, while the fourth is a proven major league third baseman.
Matt Duffy is the third baseman acquired and though he is currently on the disabled list with a strained Achilles, his presence is already a cause for concern as current shortstop Brad Miller made it known of his displeasure.
If you ask why Miller would be displeased it’s because the Tampa Bay Rays have told him that when Duffy is activated later this month he will assume the position as the everyday shortstop and that he [Miller] will spend time at first and the outfield.
