The Tampa Bay Rays have traded Willy Adames to the Milwaukee Brewers, which means it is Wander Franco time in St. Petersburg.

We have a trade between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers involving shortstop Willy Adames and pitcher Trevor Richards.

Adames is heading to the Brew Crew in exchange for a pair of right-handers in Drew Rasmussen and J.P. Feyereisen. This move may not seem like a big deal, but it is a huge deal for the Rays. By doing so, this has potentially freed up a roster spot for Tampa Bay’s top prospect Wander Franco. According to MLB.com, Franco is the top prospect in all of baseball. It is his time to shine now.

Rays fans should be excited about seeing Franco in Tampa Bay uniform sooner rather than later.

By bringing Franco into the fold, this may catapult the Rays to another AL pennant for all we know.

However, ESPN’s Jeff Passan urged caution to Rays fans ready to see Franco in the lineup tomorrow.

We’ll have more on this story shortly.
