GOODRUM GOES TO THE RAYS
The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder/outfielder Niko Goodrum from the Minnesota Twins for cash.
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
After Goodrum was assigned to minor-league camp, the Rays plucked him to be a utility player for them in 2024. He should get a chance to play in MLB for the first time since 2022.
What does it give the Minnesota Twins
There was just no space in Minnesota for Goodrum, so they moved on from him at the expense of their minor-league depth. The Twins got back some cash in this transaction.
Fantasy impact
Goodrum will not impact fantasy leagues much at all. The Rays have multiple players like him with more proven track records, leaving him with a very limited opportunity.
