On Friday the Rays made a trade, acquiring INF Junior Caminero from the Guardians in exchange for RHP Tobias Myers. The trade was made largely because of the Rays 40-man roster crunch situation. Tobias Myers was eligible for the Rule 5 draft this offseason and instead of adding him to the roster, the Rays opted to trade him for a prospect who has a few years before becoming Rule 5 eligible.
Junior Caminero is an 18-year old infielder from the Dominican Republic who signed in 2019 as a part of the Cleveland international class.
