UTILITY INFIELDER FEATHERSTON TO TAMPA
The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Taylor Featherston from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash.
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays will likely use Featherston all over the infield (he is capable of playing all four infield positions), at least until some of their injured infielders (Rickie Weeks Jr., Brad Miller and Matt Duffy) return from injury.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies received a little cash in return here for a player that was deemed expendable (mostly because of the organizational depth they have at most infield positions). So, Philadelphia decided to move on from Featherston.
Fantasy impact
Featherston does not own much fantasy value, and he will not see enough action (or do enough with it) to be considered as a pickup.
