Jake Mangum runs the bases for the Tampa Bay Rays last season.

Tampa Bay Rays

The Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays completed a three-team trade and one of the players on the move was outfielder Jake Mangum.

Tampa Bay sent Mangum, second baseman Brandon Lowe, and left-hander Mason Montgomery to Pittsburgh and in return got outfielder Jacob Melton and right-hander Anderson Brito from Houston.

The other transactions were the Pirates sending right-hander Mike Burrows to the Astros and Houston sent Jacob Melton and right-hander Anderson Brito to the Rays.

Mangum appears to be excited about the change of scenery in Pittsburgh.
