With major league teams going through trading frenzies this off-season, Baseball Musings takes a look at the players added by each team this off-season, continuing with the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays brought in the following players from other organizations:
- Asdrubal Cabrera, inf
- Jose Dominguez, p
- Ernesto Frieri, p
- John Jaso, c
- Kevin Jepsen, p
- Rene Rivera, c
- Burch Smith, p
- Steven Souza Jr., of
The major league level haul from the Rays trades this off-season was not that great. They bring back Jaso, who should give them a good OBP at catcher. Frieri and Jepsen are solid relievers. Asdrubal Cabrera peaked young, however, and not many of the others give the Rays hope for improving this year. The fans will need to wait until the prospect talent acquired for the likes of Ben Zobrist and Wil Myers comes into their own.
