Marlins Acquire Catcher Logan Driscoll from Rays

Catcher Logan Driscoll is moving from the Rays to the Marlins after activating an assignment clause in his minor league contract. This transaction was reported by Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times on August 19, 2026.

Despite the trade deadline having passed, trades can still occur if a player's contract has not been added to a 40-man roster during the season. The Rays will receive cash in exchange for Driscoll, according to Kevin Barral of Fish on First.

Typically, when an assignment clause is triggered, all other teams must be informed, and if any express interest in the player, the signing team must either provide a roster spot or facilitate a trade. While Topkin indicates that Driscoll triggered this clause, Barral describes the move as a minor league trade. It remains uncertain whether Driscoll will secure a position on Miami's 40-man roster or serve as non-roster depth.
