RAYS ACQUIRE ALCANTARA, CANARIO, LITTLE, AND ALIENDO

retro_slouch

The 2024 Tampa Bay Rays and 2024 Chicago Cubs have put the finishing touches on a blockbuster trade.


THE 2024 TAMPA BAY RAYS ACQUIRE:

KEVIN ALCANTARA - OF

Kevin Alcantara is a 20 year-old outfield prospect nicknamed "El Jaguar" who has posted a .257/.338/.543 in the 2023 Arizona Fall League. He is a top 50 prospect with unbelievable tools. He is close to debuting, and we plan to plug him in mid-season. He should be a 30 homer threat. We are excited to add more power to our lineup.

ALEXANDER CANARIO - OF

Alexander Canario originally signed with the San Francisco Giants as an international free agent in 2016. Since then, he has hit in all levels of the minors and debuted in the MLB in 2023. He will be an immediate contributor for the 2024 Tampa Bay Rays, and we look forward to seeing him drink the orange juice.

LUKE LITTLE - RP

Luke Little is a left-handed relief pitcher who had an excellent first full year in 2023 with the 2023 Chicago Cubs. He has two pitches and one of them is OK. We look forward to unlocking his potential and turning him into a multi-inning, low-leverage reliever in our awesome pen of random white dudes. In that respect, he fits right in.

PABLO ALIENDO - C

What Pablo Aliendo, a catcher signed by the Chicago Cubs in the 2018 international free agent period, lacks in hitting results he makes up for with defensive prowess and visual swing appeal. The kid looks good doing what he does at the plate and is average at what he does at the plate. We anticipate he will be a backup catcher very, very soon at the MLB level.


THE 2024 CHICAGO CUBS ACQUIRE:


YANDY DIAZ - 1B/3B

We thank Yandy Diaz for his career year in 2023. He almost hit more home runs in March, April, and May than he had in any other full season. This is the type of contribution that will get you traded in this organization. We are excited to wish him the best of luck in Chicago and hope that he continues to be a top-ten hitter.


SHAWN ARMSTRONG - RP

We also thank Shawn Armstrong for his career year in 2023. With over 1.0 fWAR, Armstrong is a force to be reckoned with and we anticipate he will be able to repeat this effort in Chicago. Fortunately for us, we have figured out how to make guys like Shawn Armstrong succeed, so there's no doubt we replace this production in short order.



Stay tuned for more 2024 Tampa Bay Rays news!
