You may be asking, are there any trade rumors surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays? The simple answer is yes. Per Jeff Passan (Yahoo Sports), Tampa Bay is listening on Nate Karns. However, a cursory warning to the other teams looking at Karns: Tampa Bay will demand a mighty haul.
A roster move here and a trade there could go a long way in shoring up the roster. Let’s look take a look at those potential moves.
By this point, most of you are well versed in the trade rumors swirling around Ben Zobrist and Yunel Escobar. In short, with the $8M acquisition of Asdrubal Cabrera, paired with the presence of middle-infield depth represented by Nick Franklin and Logan Forsythe, someone will be dealt somewhere — that is, unless the Tampa Bay Rays plan to lean upon Cabrera as the primary DH. The question remains, who may be going where?
It was another one of those nights we’ve, sadly, become accustomed to. Stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before; a Rays pitcher notched a good outing, keeping the team in the game, yet the stagnant offense couldn’t come up with the key hits when it so desperately needed to. Yes, it happened again — though, at least it wasn’t a shutout.
