Re: Rays franchise

TRADE ALERT!!!

The Rays and Redsox have struck a deal!

RAYS RECEIVE:

Catcher- Ryan Lavarnway (75) rookie, 4* potential
Middle Reliever- Bobby Jenks (71) downward trend arrow, 3* potential

REDSOX RECEIVE:

Shortstop- Sean Rodriguez (74) 4* potential
Catcher- Chris Gimenez (62) 2* potential


The Rays then sent Jenks to the twins for Kyle Waldrop

RAYS RECEIVE

Middle Reliever- Kyle Waldrop (68) 4* potential

TWINS RECEIVE

Middle Reliever- Bobby Jenks (71) 3* potential


The Rays will keep Lavarnway in the majors and he will start at catcher, they send Waldrop to (AAA), call up shortstop Tim Beckham from (AAA), and send down rookie catcher Stephen Vogt to (AAA), to get more experience instead of sitting behind Lavarnway. Beck ham will start at Shortstop for the time being but may get sent back down too (AAA) if we trade for a veteran shortstop.

Re: Rays franchise

RAYS COME FROM BEHIND LATE TO BEAT TIGERS AND TAKE GAME TWO!! Final Score 2-1

This game was a Pitchers Duel from the start, the Rays starter, Alex Cobb gave up 1 run on two hits in 6 solid innings of work, but got the no decision. Tigers starter Andy Oliver pitched a solid 8 and 2/3, giving up 7 hits, most of which came later in the game, gave up two runs and walked 3 while getting the loss. Aroldis Chapman pitched 2 and a third in relief of Alex Cobb and struck out 2, getting the win, and Kyle Farnsworth came in with 1 out in the ninth and struck out both batters he faced to get his third save of the season. Detroit lead until the eighth inning when Welington Castillo got a pinch hit RBI triple to right center, then in the ninth Evan Longoria hit an RBI double to cash in the games winning run. Detroit could have won this one but left Oliver just a little bit too long.

Re: Rays franchise

The Rays made 2 trades and signed 3 relievers and a center fielder today. The rays signed center fielder Taylor Anthony to a 1year deal worth 875K and sent him to (AAA), they signed middle reliever Arthur Rhodes to a 1 year deal worth 648K, they signed middle reliever Victor Machado to a 6 year deal worth 59K and optioned him to (A), and they signed middle reliever Alberto Castillo to a 1 year deal worth 620 and sent him to (AAA). Then later in the day, the Rays decided to shake up their roster by making two trades within an hour. The first deal looked like this:

RAYS RECEIVE:

LF Mike Carp (77) 4* potential, 25 years old
SP Danny Hultzen (73) 5* potential, 22 years old
LF Trayvon Robinson (71) 4* potential, 24 years old

SEATTLE RECEIVE:

SP Alex Cobb (79) 4* potential, 24 years old
SU Jake McGee (75) 4* potential, 25 years old
RF Brandon Guyer (73) 4* potential, 26 years old

This deal was a relatively neutral deal as the Rays got 2 prospects and a solid LF/DH and the Mariners got a prospect and two decent players that fit their style of play.

The second deal of the day was with the Dodgers. The Rays sent three vets for Middle reliever Kenley Janson.

RAYS RECEIVE:

MR Kenley Janson (81) 4* potential, 24 years old

DODGERS RECEIVE:

LF Luke Scott (75) 4* potential, downward arrow, 33 years old
LF Jesus Feliciano (65) 3* potential, downward arrow, 32 years old
CF Jeff Salazar (65) 3* potential, downward arrow, 31 years old

This deal may look one sided but the Dodgers were in need of some veteran presences as the Dodgers sent Salazar too (AAA) and Feliciano to (AA) to provide guidance to their youngersters. The Rays got another good arm in the pen and are currently on a five game winning streak.

Re: Rays franchise

TRADES AND ASSIGNMENTS + Updated lineups and rotation.

The Rays GM has gone on a bit of a trading tear making three trades involving high value players. The first trade was on April 11 with the Phillies, the Rays acquired Jim Thome in exchange for Alberto Castillo. Here's a look at how those players stack up against each other.

RAYS RECEIVE:

DH/1B Jim Thome (77), 3* with 4* potential, downward trend arrow

PHILLIES RECEIVE

Alberto Castillo (no idea what his stats were as he has disappeared :s)

This deal really didn't affect either team too much until the Rays GM sent DH/LF Mike Carp, RF Matt Joyce, and top 100 prospect Hak-Ju Lee to the Bluejays for INF Brett Lawrie and SS Yunel Escobar. Let's take a look at this deal in more detail.

RAYS RECEIVE:

INF Brett Lawrie (86) 4* with 5* potential
SS Yunel Escobar (82) 4* with 4* potential

BLUEJAYS RECEIVE:

LF Mike Carp (77) 3* with 4* potential
RF Matt Joyce (81) 4* with 4* potential
SS Hak-Ju Lee (68) 2* with 5* potential, top 100 prospect

This deal was fair, at least that's what the Rays GM thought as he gave up a Top 100 prospect and two everyday players for Escobar and Lawrie. Escobar however, would not be a Ray for very long as he was immediately shipped to the Cardinals along with first baseman Juan Miranda, for cardinals starter Jaime Garcia. Here's a more in depth look at the trade.

RAYS RECEIVE:

SP Jaime Garcia (86) 4* with 5* potential

CARDINALS RECEIVE:

SS Yunel Escobar (82) 4* with 4* potential
1B/DH Juan Miranda (70) 3* with 3* potential

This deal helped both teams as the Rays got another great starter and the cardinals were in desperate need of a shortstop as veteran shortstop Rafael Furcal is getting up there in age and is struggling terribly through the first two weeks of the season.

The Rays called up RF Sam Fuld from (AAA) to be the backup outfielder, they also called up MR Brandon Gomes and SS Reid Brignac. They sent down top 100 pitching prospect Danny Hultzen and top 100 prospect Tim Beckham to (AAA), so that they get everyday playing time to help grow.

Let's take a look at the new lineups and rotation for the Rays

VS. RHPDH
1. LF Desmond Jennings
2. CF BJ Upton
3. 3B Evan Longoria
4. DH Jim Thome
5. 1B Carlos Pena
6. 2B Brett Lawrie
7. C Ryan Lavarnway (R)
8. RF Trayvon Robinson
9. SS Ben Zobrist

VS. LHPDH

2. CF BJ Upton
3. 3B Evan Longoria
4. C Ryan Lavarnway (R)
5. 2B Brett Lawrie
6. SS Ben Zobrist
7. DH Jim Thome
8. 1B Carlos Pena
9. RF Trayvon Robinson

Bench:
C Welington Castillo
RF Sam Fuld
SS Reid Brignac
