Yesterday, 2024 Tampa Bay Rays leadership met with 2024 Seattle Mariners leadership to put the finishing touches on a massive exchange of staggering talent.
THE 2024 TAMPA BAY RAYS ACQUIRE:
LOGAN GILBERT - SP
Logan Gilbert is a workhorse starter with the potential to jump from being a #2/#3 to an ace with the proper care and coaching. We are the place to make this happen, obviously. Gilbert has multiple control years left, isn't too expensive, and fills our quota for tall starters with scraggly hair.
ISAIAH CAMPBELL - RP
Isaiah Campbell was a relatively anonymous prospect who posted impressive numbers throughout his minor league journey with Seattle. His 2023 debut year in the Mariners bullpen came to the tune of a 2.83 ERA/3.32 FIP in multi-inning work with a 10+ K/9. Statcast loves him too.
THE 2024 SEATTLE MARINERS ACQUIRE:
RANDY AROZARENA - LF
Randy Arozarena has risen to prominence in the MLB, and for good reason. He has incredibly entertaining vibes and plays the game in a very fun way that still respects the fundamentals of good play. However he is vibes-first and also super 2 with $9,000,000 on the books for arbitration two. It was only a matter of time, and this hurts but in a vacuum we like it.
CHANDLER SIMPSON - OF
Chandler Simpson is a fun, toolsy prospect who played in A+ last season. He's extremely toolsy, although his athleticism is much more "up-front" than any specific baseball skills. Particularly his speed. We feel okay missing out on a speed-only slap hitter.
Stay tuned for more 2024 Tampa Bay Rays news!
