Bartlett trade in limbo

A trade to send shortstop Jason Bartlett from the Rays to the Padres is off, for now, because the teams couldn't finalize the deal.

The Rays' trade for a pair of young pitchers in Cesar Ramos and Adam Russell, a pair of right-handed pitchers, to go to the Rays are in limbo for now.

Bartlett, 31, hit .254 with a .675 OPS in 135 games for the Rays last season.
