MLB World Reacts To Mariners-Rays Trade\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what people were saying on social media:<\/p>\n

Marc Topkin:<\/a> \u201c#Rays are giving up minor-league RHP Ty Cummings \u2013 who they got from #Mariners as PTBNL in July 2024 Arozarena trade. Legumina expected to join Rays over weekend or Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Kirby:<\/a> \u201cSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Casey Legumina moves to the Tampa Bay Rays following a trade for Ty Cummings on Friday, April 24, 2026. Legumina\u2019s fantasy value may shift as he joins the Rays\u2019 bullpen following his trade from Seattle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady Farkas:<\/a> \u201cI didn\u2019t think the M\u2019s wanted to DFA Legumina, but they ended up having to. Now the Rays are going to do Rays things, aren\u2019t they?\u201d<\/p>\n

@j_shusterman_:<\/a> \u201cwill wait for it to be official but\u2026this is hilariously on brand if this is indeed #200\u201d<\/p>\n

@benwhitelaw73:<\/a> \u201cLegumina is pretty good \u2013 above avg command and funky stuff. Emerging offspeed pitch, maybe a good cutter candidate given his feel for spin. Could definitely see him run w 3 fastball shapes\u201d<\/p>\n

@RaysMetrics:<\/a> \u201cRays have acquired RHP Casey Legumina (28) from SEA. He pitched in 8 games this year before being DFA\u2019d on Tuesday. He throws a good VAA fastball from a low slot and it sits 94. Big sweeper is his best secondary. It\u2019s good stuff and enough strikes. 0 options remaining.\u201d<\/p>\n
