Rays acquired RHP Neraldo Catalina from the Mets as the player to be named later in the Wilmer Font trade.
The Mets signed Catalina out of the Dominican Republic last July for $150,000. The 18-year-old right-hander has yet to appear in a professional game and will be another project for Tampa Bay’s outstanding player development staff. He stands 6-foot-6 and has a big fastball that has been clocked in the mid-to-high 90s.
