Rays acquire RHP Garrett Fulenchek from Braves
Tampa Bay makes two separate trades to upgrade pitching prospects.The Rays have added to their core of pitching prospects by acquiring RHP Garrett Fulenchek from the Braves, a decent arm from a decent system, and the cost was merely permission to spend money. The Atlanta Braves are interested in boosting their spending on the international market, and because that is not yet subject to a draft, it is controlled by spending limits. Breaking those limits incur strict penalties that can last two years, something the Rays began suffering this month.
