In “what took so long” like news, Marc Topkin (Tampa Bay Times) tweeted earlier that the Tampa Bay Rays have optioned Hank Conger to Triple-A Durham, with a corresponding move expected later this week (Twitter link). Should the Rays fill Conger’s spot with a player already on the 40-man roster, the internal options are Luke Maile and veteran backstop J.P. Arencibia. 

Ever the optimist, I’d love to think the team has something in play for someone like Jonathan Lucroy, but I digress.
More on this as it breaks.
