The Tampa Bay Rays have announced that they have promoted top prospect, Jake Bauers, to the major leagues. A corresponding move will be prior to the game tomorrow night when the Rays return home to Tropicana Field to take on the Seattle Mariners.
The Rays acquired Bauers in the 11 player deal that sent Wil Myers to San Diego during the 2014-2015 off-season. Since then, Bauers has nothing but exceptionally well at each level in the Rays system, despite being well below the average league age at each stop along the way.
