White Sox's Tanner Murray: Sent to White Sox
The Rays selected Murray's contract from Triple-A Durham and traded him and Everson Pereira (back) to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for pitchers Yoendrys Gomez and Steven Wilson, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Murray has yet to make his big-league debut after being selected by Tampa Bay in the fourth round of the 2020 First-Year Player Draft. The 26-year-old spent all of last season with Triple-A Durham, posting a .241/.299/.400 slash line with 18 home runs, 58 RBI and five stolen bases over 572 plate appearances. The power was a bit of a surprise -- Murray's previous minor-league season high in homers was seven -- but he may be a late bloomer in that regard. His most useful trait is probably his versatility, as he can play in both the infield and outfield.
