The first rumor of the Winter Meetings involves the Rays.
Phillyburbs.com is reporting Rays DH Pat Burrell has been traded to the Cubs, who then traded him to the Mets. There was no mention of who the Rays received in return.
Can’t get any confirmation on this since Rays executive Andrew Friedman and his staff are still flying here from Tampa. They are due to arrive here in Indy this afternoon.
A member of the Rays PR staff already in Indy said he hadn’t heard anything concerning the trade.
This might have gone down early this morning before Friedman took to the air, or it could be nothing more than a rumor.
We will update as soon as we know something.
