While it’s been a busy couple of days for a handful of teams around Major League Baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays have been fairly quiet on the heels of the Jeremy Hellickson trade. Nevertheless, some impactful moves are expected by Thursday to create a few more spots on the 40-man roster (currently at 38) to add five-to-six prospects they’re protecting from the Rule 5 draft; C Justin O’Conner, OF Mikie Mahtook, INF Ryan Brett and pitchers Matt Andriese and Adam Liberatore being the most promising.
