Ben Williamson’s Trade to Rays | Tampa Bay Rays News

from Tampa Bay Rays News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Mariners pull off a surprising three-team trade, sending promising prospects Jurrangelo Cijntje and Tai Peete to St. Louis, losing a compensatory pick, and shipping third baseman Ben Williamson to Tampa Bay. Though Williamson, a 2023 second-round pick, struggled offensively in his debut, he’s thriving as a utility infielder for the Rays, hitting 2 homers and driving in 21 runs. In a candid interview, he shared the emotional rollercoaster of being traded — initially stunned by rumors, then heartbroken to leave Seattle’s family, but ultimately grateful for the fresh start. For Williamson, the move isn’t about loss, but about seizing opportunity. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
