ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Colorado’s crowded outfield just wasn’t big enough for Corey Dickerson.
The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired Dickerson from the Rockies for left-handed reliever Jake McGee in a trade Thursday that also sent a minor leaguer to each team.
The Rays got third baseman Kevin Padlo and Colorado got right-hander German Marquez.
Colorado had an abundance of left-handed hitting outfielders with the recent signing of Gerardo Parra. In the end, Dickerson – who is not yet eligible for salary arbitration – was deemed expendable over the likes of Carlos Gonzalez and Charlie Blackmon.
