RYAN VILADE TO THE RAYS

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired outfielder Ryan Vilade from the Cincinnati Reds for cash.

What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
Vilade is a serviceable batter from the right side of the plate, so he might be able to carve out a platoon role in Tampa Bay.

What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
The Reds have plenty of options in the outfield at this time, so they did not feel the need to keep Vilade around.
