The shuttle between the Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners minor league affiliates is flying today as the Rays and Mariners have done a swap of minor leaguer players. The Rays will send catcher Mike Marjama along with relief pitcher Ryan Garton in exchange for pitcher Anthony Misiewicz and infielder Luis Rengifo plus a player to be named later or cash considerations.
This trade essentially means little right now in terms of player availability at the major league level, it does however add some depth in the minors for the Rays and Mariners but more importantly it creates another spot on the 40-man roster for the Rays.
