TB/ARZ

[Nick (Rays)]

Rays trade to Diamondbacks:
Jeff Ames (spect)
Mikie Mahtook (spect)
Parker Markel (spect)

Diamondbacks trade to Rays:
Adam Eaton 14: $0.5M, 15: $0.5M, 16: $0.5M?, 17: arb
David Hernandez 14: $2M, 15: ARB

Rays accept. I like these spects, but I like these Dback players too. This give me some more flexibility with my OF decisions.

[Rich (D'Backs)]

I accept. I have 7 OFers in which I have 4 spots for(one for UT). Someone had to go. With the return I receive here Eaton was a logical choice to go. I am not a fan of him(like Pollock better), and Hernandez doesn't fit my bullpen plans.

I am very excited, very excited to be adding Jeff Ames. This guy has been dominant thus far in the minors and steamrolling through everyone. I may lose Bradley in the previous trade, but I think Ames can be just as good. Mahtook I like a lot for his speed. His power will come along and I add a nice piece for my OF in a year or 2. Markel I like a lot, too. Drafted in like 40th round, I think this guy is a sleeper that will surprise people in the majors. I really like this trade as much as I do the last one.

Nice dealing Rays, and good luck to you
