The Rays currently have a full 40-man roster, with several moves still needing to be made in order to make room for notable top prospects who need protection. However, that didn't stop them from placing a waiver claim on now former New York Yankee right-handed pitcher, Chase Whitley, according to Ken Rosenthal.
Whitley was drafted by New York in the 15th round of the 2010 draft out of Troy University, and had an excellent professional debut rising to High-A at the end of the year. Whitley continued his successful start, climbing the ladder as a reliever each year, until making his major league debut in May of 2014.
