TB sends:
Mason Montgomery, P (TB) - Prospect
2024 Minors Draft Pick 1.17

ARI sends:
Blake Dunn, OF (CIN) - Prospect
2024 Minors Draft Pick 2.04

TB Logic:
Been discussing frameworks for this trade throughout the off-season before landing on this package tonight. Tough trade to make here but I wanted to take a chance on Dunn. The jury is still deliberating about if his 2023 season was “real” or a product of being old for the levels he played at, but hopefully 2024 will provide more clarity. Hurts to move a great Rays prospect and a first round pick, but I feel it is an even swap.

Nice talks with Sam as always, thank you and good luck!

Confirmed. Dunn was a nice pickup for me last year and I mostly believe in what he did this past season, so it hurts to let him go. Wanted to take a chance on Montgomery, and the pick swap was the extra push I needed. Great talks with Bailey and glad we could find a landing point for this one! Good luck to him and his team this year.
