Great deal for the Rays. I’m a big Jesus fan and really feel he’s going to take the gig and run. Excellent behind the dish and he’s matured with the bat. He’s not going to hit for a lot of power but he’s really learned to go the other way and is steady situationally. The Rays are going to love his work behind the plate. He’s a great framer and blocker and handles a staff very well.. I’ve been calling for this trade for at least a month now.

I’m surprised by this. He cleared waivers and was out righted off their 49 man roster. Wish they just DFA Tuffy and opened up a spot on the 40 man roster to pick up someone else.

*40 man roster.

Well, as Bob Dutton explained it, they like Tuffy because he has one option and they can bring him up/send him down all season, whereas Sucre would have to constantly go through waivers each time.
And they don’t want Tuffy and Sucre because they want an open spot in Tacoma for a younger guy.

Good defensive catcher who has improved greatly with the bat. Nice depth for the Rays.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sucre win the starting gig down there. I don’t know what the kind of receivers the other guys on their roster are, but Sucre is great with pitchers, blocking and framing. If he can put up a .650 OPS that’s great value.

I’ll miss him! I hope he does well on the Rays.

Pretty excited about this. Rays need depth till Wilson is healthy. Now on to a RH bat that can play first. Park is my pick.

Jesus Sugar was Felix’s dugout pal and preferred catcher, but a roster slot is too important to spend on just that. Wish him the best, hope he finds his bat.
