The Tampa Bay Rays plugged a major hole in their outfield Thursday, acquiring Corey Dickerson and third baseman Kevin Padlo from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for pitchers Jake McGee and German Marquez, the Rockies announced.
Rosenthal spoke about the financial impact the move will have on the Rays:
#Rays saving more than $4M with this trade. Could apply it toward signing of Desmond. But are they willing to give up No. 13 pick in draft?

Clarification: #Rays will save more than $4M IF they do not include cash to help cover McGee’s salary.
