Elijah Dukes To Nationals

The Rays have traded Elijah Dukes to the Washington Nationals. In return they will get Glenn Gibson, a 20 year old southpaw starter.

Jim Bowden hopes that Dmitri Young will act as a mentor for Dukes, who's widely known to be trouble. It also leaves the Nationals with an outfield surplus, although Bowden does not appear to be worried.

Gibson would be a good trade for the Rays. He is known to have "a decent fastball, very good curve, and tons of polish.".
