Rays' Willy Adames: Added to 40-man roster

Adames was added to the Rays' 40-man roster Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Adames hit .274/.372/.430 with 11 homers and 13 steals in 132 games with Double-A Montgomery in 2016, solidifying his status as the top prospect in the organization. He will presumably advance to Triple-A early on in 2017 with a chance to break through to the majors before the end of the year.
