Last offseason the Rays acquired Top-100 prospect right-handed pitcher Jose De Leon from the Dodgers in a one-for-one swap for second baseman Logan Forsythe.
De Leon had an inconsistent camp in 2017, and eventually requested an early exit to compete in the World Baseball Classic, and who could blame him? Puerto Rico were darlings in the tournament, and were the eventual runner-ups to Team USA. Their bleached hair and buoyant personalities made the tournament fun.
Unfortunately, De Leon left camp on odd footing, and returned to injury (right flexor tendon).
