[RaysMetrics] The Rays also acquired Will Simpson (23) from OAK. He’s only played 1B & 3B in pro ball but was announced as an OF in this trade. Big time power is the primary tool here, and he’s hit .290/.376/.496 (142 wRC+) in 700 PA’s since he was drafted in 2023.

Good looking stance and swing!
Kid is going to fit right in.
Really appreciate that Neander evolved from speed-first prospects to run-producers. Xavier Isaac was a turning point.
Astros fan here, but, man. I always admire how Tampa keeps churning out players and keeps wheeling and dealing. I’ll be bookmarking all the guys acquired for Springs.
Still holding out hope that Aranda can put it all together for fantasy baseball purposes.
