Why the Rays traded Sanchez and De Leon

The Rays were busy ahead of the 8 pm deadline to solidify the 40-man roster. GM, Erik Neander worked his magic to maximize value on the Tampa roster. Here’s a rundown of the moves that were made:

Contracts Selected to the 40-Man Roster

Players Traded Away

Players Acquired

  • Player to be named later (he’s my favorite player)
  • Cash (potentially some coupons for a “buy 10 for $10” protein bars at Publix)*

*Note: You don’t actually have to buy 10 to get the deal, I have been unaware of this for decades.
