August 31Aug 31 I understand how this trade was allowed (never played in the MLB this year) but don't understand how the Tommy Pham trade was allowed. Granted, it was cash considerations but still.
August 31Aug 31 He killed us on the Twins IIRC, so maybe we're just acquiring every guy who's hit us well at some point? Otherwise I'm guessing this is for AAA.
August 31Aug 31 He’s not on the 40 man roster I assume? If so, I’m guessing the Sox DFA Perez to make room for Thorpe and this gives some minor league OF insurance.

August 31Aug 31 Whats sad is I like this pickup more than the Pham one and Cave won't even be on the MLB roster.

I thought they couldn't appear in the majors at any point to qualify to still be traded.

Guess not since both are on MILB deals? Not that we'd want to see Pham or Cave in the postseason, but does a player need to be on the 40man to be eligible for playoffs?
August 31Aug 31 Something like the 9th or 10th micro transaction with Rays since the beginning of 2025...
