The Houston Astros traded Forrest Whitley to the Tampa Bay Rays for $100,000 on Friday, sending the struggling right-hander to a new home after he was once a highly regarded prospect. The 6-foot-7 Whitley was selected by Houston with the No. 17 pick in the 2016 amateur draft. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said Whitley will work out of the bullpen with his new team. “I saw him, just like you guys did in Houston,” Cash said.
