Rays' Corey Dickerson: Traded to Rays on Thursday

Dickerson was traded to the Rays on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

After signing Gerardo Parra, the Rockies were expected to move one of their outfielders for some pitching, and that's exactly what they did. Dickerson was sent to the Rays with a minor league pitcher in exchange for pitcher Jake McGee and a minor league pitcher. This move could impact the 26-year-old in a few ways, most notably being that he won't be hitting in the hitter-friendly Coors Field any longer. There also may be a concern of Dickerson's health, given that the turf in Tropicana Field isn't the most forgiving surface in the league. Those issues aside, the Rays are getting a solid young left-handed hitter, as Dickerson batted .304 with 10 home runs with the Rockies last season.
