Joey Wendle Traded To Marlins
3 years agoInfielder Joey Wendle is on the move, as the Tampa Bay Rays have traded the 31-year-old to the Miami Marlins in exchange for outfield prospect Kameron Misner. Wendle has spent the last four seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, slashing .265/.319/.422 with 11 homers and eight steals in 2021. He should see plenty of playing time at second base, third base, and shortstop, and is under club control through the 2023 season via arbitration. The move opens up playing time in Tampa Bay for Taylor Walls and Vidal Brujan among others. Misner, meanwhile, has an outside shot to appear in the major leagues in 2022 but more likely will spend the season in the upper minors.
