The Tampa Bay Rays made two trades on Thursday picking up first baseman Lucas Duda from the New York Mets and lefty reliever Dan Jennings from the Chicago White Sox.
They continued dealing today, receiving right-handed reliever Steve Cishek from the Seattle Mariners for righty swingman Erasmo Ramirez.
Cishek, 31, has a 3.15 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 15 strikeouts compared to seven walks in 20 innings this year.
The Mets still have closer Addison Reed left as their primary trade chip and one of the best relievers on the market that includes Brad Hand, A.J. Ramos and Brandon Kintzler.
