TB and NYM Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

TB sends:
Ryan Clifford, OF (NYM) - Prospect
Jack Brannigan, CI (PIT) - Prospect

NYM sends:
Alexis Diaz, RP (CIN) - 24: $0.85M; 25-27: ARB
2024 Minors Draft Pick 3.22

Tampa Bay Logic:
I'm very fond of the two prospects I am sending but I wanted to strengthen my bullpen. Hopefully Diaz can put together another good season.

Nice talks with Walt as always, thanks and good luck!

[Mets GM (Walt)]

Confirmed.

I always figured Diaz would be my closer of forever when I picked him up, but now I have to continue trading for the future.

Big fan of Clifford and I’m hoping Brannigan continues developing as well.

Great working with Bailey as usual and good luck to the Rays.
