The Tampa Bay Rays acquired catching help from the Oakland Athletics. Oakland sends Christian Bethancourt to Tampa Bay for two minor leaguers:
Two years ago, Bethancourt and his brother purchased 17 acres in his native Panama and planned to become farmers before giving baseball one more shot.

Bethancourt hasn’t exactly lit up pitchers with a .249/.298/.385 slash line. He is the kind of player the Rays like, however, as they can plug him into multiple positions.
The Athletics get outfielder Cal Stevenson and pitcher Christian Fernandez. Stevenson does an excellent job of getting on base. Fernandez came into the Rays system at a very young age, and just reached A ball this season at 22. His strength is blowing away batters. It strikes me that Oakland turned Bethancourt into two useful players.
