Outfield prospect Marshall Toole<\/a> is heading from the Yankees to the Rays, according to announcements from both clubs. He is the player to be named later from the deadline deal which sent Jos\u00e9 Caballero<\/a> to the Yankees and Everson Pereira<\/a> to the Rays. Toole wasn\u2019t on the Yankees\u2019 40-man roster and therefore doesn\u2019t need to take up a spot with the Rays.<\/p>\n

Toole, 22, was a 15th-round pick of the Yankees in last year\u2019s draft. Since that selection, he has played in 113 Single-A games, stepping to the plate 441 times. His 20.6% strikeout rate thus far is decent while his 15.2% walk rate is quite strong. His .298\/.413\/.462 batting line translates to a 148 wRC+. He has also stolen 52 bases in 60 tries.<\/p>\n

Those are obviously some nice numbers but there are some caveats. That offensive production includes just six home runs and is being propped up by a massive .380 batting average on balls in play. Toole is also a bit old for his level and will face stiffer competition as he moves up the ladder. He\u2019s not currently listed as one of the top 30 prospect in the Yankee system by Baseball America nor MLB Pipeline.<\/p>\n

Put all together and it feels like a very Rays-style pickup, a player without a huge profile but one with some interesting tools. The club has turned a few such players into decent big league contributors over the years. Perhaps the same could be true of Toole but he\u2019s likely a few years away since he still has to climb a few more rungs of the minor league ladder. He won\u2019t be eligible for the Rule 5 draft until December of 2027.<\/p>\n
