Rays' Michael Martinez: Dealt to Tampa Bay
Martinez was traded to the Rays on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
Analysis:
Martinez was designated for assignment by the Indians on May 14 despite going 4-for-11 in 15 games for them this season, but it seems like his versatility caught the eye of the Rays. He doesn't have anywhere to play on the big-league roster at this time, but he could be one of the first guys called up if injuries plague Tampa Bay given his vast MLB experience.
