"The Red Sox have traded right-hander Luis Guerrero to the Rays, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com."
"Boston recently designated Guerrero for assignment and passed him through waivers unclaimed."
"As such, there's not likely to be much of a return, unless Guerrero is an ancillary piece in a larger deal."
"Tampa Bay could have just claimed Guerrero off waivers but seemingly didn't want to commit a 40-man roster spot to the hard-throwing but command-challenged righty."
Luis Guerrero, a hard-throwing but command-challenged right-hander, was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Tampa Bay Rays. Boston designated Guerrero for assignment and passed him through waivers unclaimed prior to the deal. The transaction is unlikely to yield significant return for Boston unless Guerrero functions as an ancillary piece in a larger trade. Tampa Bay appears to have avoided claiming Guerrero on waivers to prevent using a 40-man roster spot despite his velocity upside. The Rays add a high-velocity depth option with notable control concerns. Further transaction details may follow.
