[HOLY S**T!] Tampa Bay Rays Trade Iwamura To Pittsburgh

TheCheetah

RealGM Staff Report - The Pittsburgh Pirates today announced they have acquired infielder Akinori Iwamura from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jesse Chavez. The announcement was made by Pirates Senior Vice President, General Manager Neal Huntington.

The 30-year-old Iwamura, who was a nine-year veteran of the Japanese Central League while playing with Yakult from 1998
to 2006, spent the last three seasons playing with Tampa Bay. He was converted from a third baseman to a second baseman following the 2007 campaign and went on to make 152 appearances at second base for the American League champion
Rays in 2008.

The Rays need to stop trading all their talent away. First Scott Kazmir, Now Iwamura... I don't even like the Rays. I'm a New York Yankees fan til' the end. Who's next to be traded from TB? Carl Crawford? LOL
