It feels like it’s a requirement for the Rays to be involved in every 3-Way Trade.
Trade: The Seattle Mariners are on the verge of acquiring infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals. The Tampa Bay Rays have a minor role in the 3-way trade in which they are expected to acquire Mariners utilityman Ben Williamson. @katiejwoo.bsky.social on it.
