SAN FRANCISCO — Bob Seymour didn’t know why Triple-A Durham manager Morgan Ensberg had called a team meeting Thursday afternoon and certainly didn’t expect to be the subject. After talking about the Bulls’ Wednesday game, Ensberg addressed Seymour.

The Tampa Bay Rays are in some serious need of thump and they are addressing it by bringing up Bob Seymour. The 26-year old first baseman has been one of the most prolific power hitters in the Rays system since being selected in the 13th round of the 2021 draft.

The Rays are planning to call up first base prospect Bob Seymour from Triple-A Durham prior to Friday’s game, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times . Since Seymour isn’t on the 40-man roster, Tampa Bay will have to make at least one corresponding move to create space on both the 40-man and 26-man rosters.
