The Tampa Bay Rays made headlines with another blockbuster trade on Tuesday, trading outfielder Steven Souza to the Arizona Diamondbacks. In return, they received lefthander Anthony Banda from Arizona and second baseman Nick Solak from the New York Yankees, the third team in the deal. The Rays will also receive two players to be named later, which ESPN’s Keith Law reported were “more than just throw-ins.”
While we don’t yet know the identity of those last two players, Banda and Solak already represent a solid return for Souza’s services.
