Overview
- The teams agreed to the swap Friday, according to reports from The Athletic and the Tampa Bay Times, but the deal remains pending a Rays roster move.
- Legumina has no minor-league options, which means Tampa Bay must place him on the active roster once the trade is finalized.
- Seattle designated Legumina for assignment on April 21 after a stretch in which he allowed six runs on 10 hits over 4.1 innings.
- This season he has a 4.63 ERA over 11.2 innings, a lower strikeout rate than last year, and a velocity dip that includes a four-seamer down to 93.5 mph from 94.3.
- Cummings, 24, is a Double-A right-hander who moved to the bullpen, was the player to be named later in the Randy Arozarena trade, and has allowed one run in 5.1 innings this year.
