2 years agoArizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Jeff Passan. Coming back to the Diamondbacks in the deal is 19-year-old catcher Christian Cerda. Peralta is more of a platoon bat at this point, as he has a pretty good .823 OPS against righties but just a .462 OPS against lefties. The Rays tend to play a very analytical brand of ball, so expect Peralta to see very few lefties. He could be of use in weeks where the Rays are facing mostly righties, but in most leagues this move won't help his fantasy value. Cerda is not a highly ranked prospect, but has put up good numbers in rookie ball this year while showing off his plate discipline. He is still a long way from the majors, though.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
