Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@TBTimes_Rays: “#Rays are giving up minor-league RHP Ty Cummings – who they got from #Mariners as PTBNL in July 2024 Arozarena trade. Legumina expected to join Rays over weekend or Monday.”
Jake Kirby: “Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Casey Legumina moves to the Tampa Bay Rays following a trade for Ty Cummings on Friday, April 24, 2026. Legumina’s fantasy value may shift as he joins the Rays’ bullpen following his trade from Seattle.”
Brady Farkas: “I didn’t think the M’s wanted to DFA Legumina, but they ended up having to. Now the Rays are going to do Rays things, aren’t they?”
@j_shusterman_: “will wait for it to be official but…this is hilariously on brand if this is indeed #200”
@benwhitelaw73: “Legumina is pretty good – above avg command and funky stuff. Emerging offspeed pitch, maybe a good cutter candidate given his feel for spin. Could definitely see him run w 3 fastball shapes”
@caseyboguslaw: “Aww I love a good Rays-Mariners trade. It had been a minute.”
@tlschwerz: “Former Twins prospect.”
