I still remember how gutted I felt when I first read Wil Myers had been traded to the Padres. My frustration only grew once I realized how seemingly little the Rays received in return. At the time, Tampa Bay's haul in the three-team trade left many scratching their heads. Here's a recap of all the moving pieces:
| Rays Received: | Padres Received: | Nationals Received: |
| LF Steven Souza Jr., WSH | OF/1B Wil Myers, TB | SS Trea Turner, SD |
| LHP Travis Ott, WSH | C Ryan Hanigan, TB | RHP Joe Ross, SD |
| C Rene Rivera, SD | LHP Jose Castillo, TB | |
| RHP Burch Smith, SD | RHP Gerardo Reyes, TB | |
| 1B/OF Jake Bauers, SD |
In what was something of a hopeful move for Tampa Bay, the Rays and Padres swapped starting catchers.
