Report: Recently traded Todd Glaesmann placed on Voluntarily Retired list

Outfield prospect Todd Glaesmann, named the Rays 2012 minor league  player of the year, was the only player sent to the Diamondbacks to complete the Ryan Hanigan trade.

At the time, Glaesmann was listed as a PTBNL due to the Rule 5 draft, but prior to the announcement, Diamonbacks GM Kevin Towers expressed his excitement for the mystery prospect:

"I would say the player to be named later is someone we value as a prospect," Towers said. "Of course, we can't announce who that is yet. That's not taking anything away from Choate. But I'd say probably the key player in the deal, with the players from Tampa Bay, will be the player to be named later."

Now it would seem the Diamonbacks did not recieve exactly what they thought they would:
