TB & STL Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

TB sends:
TJ Sikkema, P (NYY) - Prospect
Victor Mesa Jr, OF (MIA) - Prospect

STL sends:
Tink Hence, P (STL) - Prospect

TB Logic:
Trading two prospects I like for a player I’m high on. Especially tough to move Mesa Jr because he’s one of my favorite players (saw him play a lot last year and he gave me a bat), but I wanted to add a pitching prospect and I like Hence a lot too.

Nice talks with Chris, thanks and good luck.

I confirm. I like the guys I’m getting. Hope they both can perform well in the future. I’m also pretty high on hence. Think he will definitely be a solid pitcher when the time comes
