When the Tampa Bay Rays Rays announced on Thursday they had optioned Curt Casali to Durham and claimed Bobby Wilson off waivers, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
With the acquisition of Wilson, the Tampa Bay Rays catching situation has gone full circle since opening day of the 2015 season and they have accomplished nothing.
At the beginning of the 2015 season, the Tampa Bay Rays Rays catching staff consisted of Rene Rivera and Bobby Wilson. Rivera was fresh off his only decent season in the big leagues but Wilson hadn’t played in the big leagues in 2012 and 2013 combined.
