I'm not sure why the Rays felt they needed to do this trade right now. Apparently they sent cash too. Span is an older vet but Colome was a very good reliever the last couple years. Led the league in saves last year. Was down a bit this year but they still had control over him a couple more years.
Basically traded them for what looks like a couple marginal prospects that aren't on any lists for the Mariners. I get why the Mariners want to be aggressive and add guys with their current record and Cano being out... but the Rays had two months to the trade deadline.
