TAMPA TRADES FOR PERALTA

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired outfielder David Peralta from the Arizona Diamondbacks for catcher Christian Cerda.

What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays have plenty of injuries, especially to their outfielders, so Peralta should help down the stretch. He should see most of his at-bats against right-handed pitching.

What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks get back a young catching prospect with plenty of upside. This is a good deal for Arizona because Peralta is on the down side of his MLB career.

Fantasy impact
Peralta does not need to be picked up in every league format but could be a decent option in deeper leagues. Cerda is now on the keeper radar.
