"Cooper Bowman, a 26-year-old second baseman/left fielder, hit .234/.328/.385 across 326 plate appearances in the minors, struggling with injuries and performance."
"Gerlin Rosario, 24, posted a 2.27 ERA over 47 2/3 innings at High-A Bowling Green, with a strikeout rate of 21.7%, and has not yet appeared in MLB camp."
"Bowman will open the season with Tampa Bay's top affiliate in Durham, providing non-roster second base depth as Richie Palacios is on the injured list."
The Athletics and Rays completed a trade involving minor league players. Infielder Cooper Bowman, a 26-year-old, was sent to Tampa Bay, while the A's received 24-year-old right-handed reliever Gerlin Rosario. Neither player has made it to the major leagues or is on their teams' 40-man rosters. Bowman struggled in the minors last season, while Rosario had a solid performance at High-A. Bowman will provide depth at second base for Tampa Bay, and Rosario is expected to advance to Double-A with the A's.
