Trade season has begun for the Tampa Bay Rays, and instead of the move that more optimistic fans were looking for–acquiring a bat–the Rays are actually sending a bat elsewhere. The Rays have traded left fielder/DH David DeJesus to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for right-hander Eduar Lopez. However, the move may not affect the Rays’ chances as much you would think, and you have to like the reports on Lopez.
Lately, the Rays have been going with an outfield alignment of David DeJesus, Kevin Kiermaier, and Steven Souza Jr.
