In a trading deadline that was set to revolve around selling the remaining team control of Chris Archer, the Rays swung an unexpected move, sending three minor league prospects to St. Louis to acquire Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham.
I’m still processing this, as I’m sure of most of you are, but it’s certainly a bold and proactive move. The Rays had a need for a right-handed corner bat, now and in the future, so they went out and got one.
What did the Rays acquire?
