It is a day that was inevitable, the writing was on the wall but not very clear as the Tampa Bay Rays listened hard and long before striking a deal that sent incumbent second baseman Logan Forsythe to the Los Angeles Dodgers for prized pitcher Jose De Leon.
It was an opportunity that the Rays could not refuse and now the question is who the Rays options at second base are. From an organizational standpoint at the major league level, depth wise, the top option would clearly favor Nick Franklin followed by Tim Beckham and possibly Brad Miller.
