Yeah, the Rays I guess have been in "advanced trade negotiations (https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/rays-notes-40-man-roster-trades-choi-kiermaier.html) so they'll probably make a few trades between now and the deadline (whatever time that is tomorrow).

They could probably snag Boxberger for less than $3M, what his option was that the Brewers declined. Not a high leverage guy but another cheap veteran arm.

Yeah it's easy to connect the Sox, who need left-handed bats and a 2B (I think they will go in-house), to Lowe.

54 innings to his name over the last 2 seasons. He’s eventually going to require a 40-man roster spot. I think I’d make him more available than other guys, but I wouldn’t trade him just yet either. Depends I guess.

Yeah. Maybe they can grab Yarbrough or Chirinos as well.

Think we're going to see a handful of players dealt off the current Rays MLB roster.

Tommy Pham could fill the right-handed OF hole...

Yeah pretty much just that haha

We, unfortunately, do not have this anywhere.

If it’s only 2 year/$20M (give or take an extra couple mill), I think I would be ok with that.

Hey that’s 7/$190M with the potential to be 10/$350M to you.

How is Gonzalez in CF?

I was thinking more Yaz on a buy low but I think that would cost less than Gio. If Joc takes the QO (kinda likely) and if they sign Judge, they also LaMonte Wade Jr. Yaz on a buy low seems like something the Sox would do.

It would have to be from a team that needs another SP (even back end) but has an abundance of OFs. Not sure which team that is without looking (Giants maybe?).

But then that just opens up another hole. But I guess in a year they aren’t even going to increase payroll that doesn’t even matter. Any left-handed bats controlled for one more year out there where a 1-for-1 swap makes sense?

Yeah I don’t see him being here beyond 2023 no matter if he pitches well or not.

Hopefully he figures it out and it's just a case of typical reliever trajectory of being bad for a year or two and then good again. Wishful thinking for sure.

If they trade Liam, I would probably use Graveman as a closer.

I’m thinking Joc, Eovaldi, Anderson, maybe Perez.

He should probably take it and not look back.

Feel like a couple guys should take it right?

Well, let me get a hit.

I want whatever Jim Bowden is taking.

I saw that on MLBN earlier. They also just cleared a 40-man spot by declining Kiermaier's option.

Please don’t say that. There’s always 2B and 3B.
