Jacob Melton Acquired by Rays in Lowe Trade

Jacob Melton was acquired by the Rays as the centerpiece in the Brandon Lowe trade. Melton offers a high-impact toolset, including fringe 70 power, plus defense across all outfield spots, and above-average speed. However, he has struggled to produce through his first 15 games with Triple-A Durham, currently posting a 74 wRC+.
