The Tampa Bay Rays sent Mallex Smith back to Seattle, where he once called home for just over an hour, in return for Mike Zunino. In getting Zunino, the Rays got the top-of-the-line catcher they have been waiting for, well, forever. Although Wilson Ramos was a welcome sight in Tampa Bay, he wasn’t here for long. Now with the former Florida Gator back in his home state, the Rays will have the stability behind the plate that they have been searching for since the days of Toby Hall.
Mike Zunino:
Zunino, the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 draft, has put together a nice career to this point.
