Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Marc TopkinVerified account @TBTimes_Rays 11m11 minutes ago More Hearing #Rays are working on a deal to acquire OF Peter Bourjos, who is in camp with #WhiteSox. I'm sure Hahn will snag Longoria straight up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This gives the CF job to May I would assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Some guy is posting on Twitter that it's done, fwiw, and it's so minor I can't see someone lying about it. Adam Baird @BastardlyAdam 4 minutes ago @TBTimes_Rays @Ry_Bass deal is done. Adam Baird @BastardlyAdam 4 minutes ago @TBTimes_Rays @Ry_Bass I just texted his sister. He flys tomorrow. Hoping we can get Curt Casali for him. Redundant for the Rays now that they have Norris as well as Ramos and has mashed at stages in the minors and majors (also been awful at times and has consistently struck out a lot in the majors). Decent defensive rep too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Damn, wanted at least an A-ball for him. Cash trades are so strange to me. They seem to essentially just be favors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench of: Sanchez, Leury, Soto, and Asche IMO. Lol, the Sox will have the lightest hitting OF in the majors. Ha ha, Frazier will probably supply more power than all three starting outfielders.

They seem to essentially just be favors. It does seem that way. Teams frequently give career minor leaguers to each other but not so much major leaguers. I would've cut him. The Sox weren't going to cut him. Yet they essentially give him away to Tampa. Why then was he around in the first place?
