The Justin Smoak experiment is over in Seattle.

The M's have traded the 25 year old slugger to the Rays for fellow 1B Brandon Allen 9who is supposed to be in Japan..I'll just say we gave Smoak to TB and we got Brandon Allen from Japan, lol.)

Brandon Allen will report to MLB. While Mike Carp will be sent to AAA. To accomodate this, we also sent down OF Franklin Gutierrez who was batting .194 since his call up. We called up Hector Noesi and Josh Kinney.

We also called pitcher Steve Garrison and Taijuan Walker to AAA. This makes James Paxton the last of the big 3to make it past AA.
