Rays trade Jose Siri to Mets for reliever
November 20, 2024 - The Tampa Bay Rays have traded Jose Siri to the New York Mets for rookie relief pitcher Eric Orze. The announcement, coincidentally, came just before the Pinellas County Commission discussed a bond issuance for a new stadium Tuesday. Siri was a boom-or-bust player, particularly at the plate, and Jonny DeLuca will likely replace him in center field.
