RAYS SHOW POWER IN WIN, LAND IT IN TRADE FOR PERALTA

ST. PETERSBURG -- Saturday was an encouraging day for the Rays’ scuffling,
injury-depleted lineup.

First, they saw Brandon Lowe and Yandy Díaz bash a couple of two-run homers to
support veteran starter Corey Kluber’s 10-strikeout performance in a 6-4 win
over the Guardians. That snapped a two-game losing streak during which Tampa Bay
managed just one run on 10 hits, all singles, and further lightened the mood in
the home clubhouse at Tropicana Field.

Then, just after Pete Fairbanks struck out José Ramírez to record the final out
came some more good news: The Rays acquired outfielder David Peralta from the
D-backs for catching prospect Christian Cerda, bringing aboard a veteran hitter
to bolster their lineup.

FAIRBANKS STRIKES OUT RAMÍREZ




“He has a history of offensive performance that we really like, and we think
he's somebody that can kind of stabilize our lineup,” Rays GM Peter Bendix said.
“Good, well-rounded baseball player.”

The trade brought a whirlwind of emotions for the 34-year-old Peralta, who is
expected to join Tampa Bay for Sunday’s series finale against Cleveland. He has
spent his entire nine-year Major League career with Arizona, playing 961 games
for the D-backs from his debut on June 1, 2014, until his last game on Friday.
But that tenure included only one trip to the postseason in 2017, which ended in
a three-game NLDS sweep.

With the Rays, Peralta has a new team and a new lease on life in the playoffs.
Their win on Saturday gave them a 2 1/2-game edge over the Guardians for the
final American League Wild Card spot.



“My reaction was, like, shock. I’ve been my whole career with this team, and it
was a sad moment for me,” Peralta said by phone from Atlanta. “On the other
side, I was really excited and happy that the Rays were interested in me and
believe that I can help them get into the playoffs.”



Peralta is hitting .248/.316/.460 with 12 homers in 87 games this season. He’s
been particularly effective when facing right-handers, with a career
.296/.351/.492 slash line and a .268/.325/.498 mark this year. Bendix said
Peralta will play “a lot” in left field, with some time at DH, and Peralta said
he’d be open to time in right field, where he last played regularly in 2017.

The Rays’ current outfield mix includes Randy Arozarena, Brett Phillips, Josh
Lowe, Luke Raley and Roman Quinn. The club will make a corresponding roster move
after Peralta arrives.




Tampa Bay's lineup has been devastated by injuries all season. The Rays will be
without catcher Mike Zunino and center fielder Kevin Kiermaier for the rest of
the year, and they won’t see the return of shortstop Wander Franco, outfielder
Manuel Margot or outfielder/DH Harold Ramírez until mid-to-late August at the
earliest.

While their bats broke out a bit against the Guardians on Saturday, a showing
highlighted by the much-needed two-run homers from Lowe and Díaz, it became
clear as the injuries piled up that they needed reinforcements before Tuesday’s
Trade Deadline.

“We've had a lot of injuries, and we're relying on a lot of young guys who
haven't necessarily performed the way that we know that they're capable of,”
Bendix said. “Adding somebody who has a history of being able to do that,
hopefully, that has an effect on the other players, in addition to just himself
as well.”

Adding Peralta and eventually getting back Franco, Margot and Ramírez should go
a long way toward improving the lineup.

“He's a really good hitter, from what I've seen so far,” Díaz said through
interpreter Manny Navarro, “and I think he's really going to be able to help us
in this lineup.”

The Rays will pick up the remainder of the $8 million Peralta was owed this
season as part of the three-year, $22 million extension he signed in January
2020. To get him, they parted with Cerda, a 19-year-old catcher hitting
.315/.464/.519 in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

The Trade Deadline is Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET. The Rays are known to be pursuing
offensive help and potentially another catcher, and they’re always on the
lookout for more arms. What could the next three days bring?

“Oh, there's always irons in the fire,” Bendix said, smiling. “We're talking and
listening on everything and everybody. I think most teams in baseball are doing
the same. Never know what's going to come together, but we're going to try to
make this team as good as we can.”
