The Rays filled out their 40-man roster Tuesday by sending a player to be named later or cash to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for pitcher Sean Poppen.
Poppen will report to Triple-A Durham for his assignment with the team.
Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
