[Epic Problem]

Because if there's one thing the Rays need, it s a 30 year old OF

Who does this open PT for, Bader or O'Neill?

Would think it gets Bader more reps as the starter and O'Neill back on the big league roster?

His contract is very Rays friendly.

 

[shadyridr]

I want the yankeesto get Cutch

 

[MAC_32]

His contract is very Rays friendly.

Yep - still 3 years of arb eligibility.  Curious who gets squeezed on playing time.  Or if they have something teed up involving Gomez.

Maybin to Ms

Wilson Ramos to Phils

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Wow Pirates going for it!

meadows and Glasgow for Archer!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Fiers to A’s

Dozier to Doyers

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Gausman to Braves 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

ESPN not even bothering to report the trades on their trade show.  

 

[JaxBill]

meadows and Glasgow for Archer!

That's not all. 

@TBTimes_Rays: BREAKING: Under deal being finalized, #Rays trade Archer to #Pirates for Glasnow, Meadows and a still being decided 3rd piece

 

[IMAX 3D]

I bet @Frostillicus and @Notorious T.R.E. are excited about getting Logan Forsythe

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Now the ESPN trade show is interviewing some guy about Andrew Luck. Lol 

 

[IMAX 3D]

Looks like Fiers deal fell through

 

[Northern Voice]

That's not all.

I read that the Rays payroll commitments beyond this year are $9.8M - $7.8M to Kiermaier and $2M still paid to Longoria. Everyone else is arb/pre-arb

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If Schoop goes to Brewers where is Travis Shaw gonna play? Not sure why they traded for moose, Shaw is better. 

 

[Eephus]

The Jake Diekman era was pretty short

Schoop at SS IMO. Softball infield.

Something about Fiers contract  

He can be moved later anyway, but still. 

 

[Capella]

The Rays are down to [squints at roster] zero starting pitchers. 

 

[Eephus]

The Rays are down to [squints at roster] zero starting pitchers. 

Let Sergio Romo throw 5 pitches every day

 

[Epic Problem]

The Rays are down to [squints at roster] zero starting pitchers. 

TB breaks modern day record for number of starters used in a season (currently 20: 1967 Mets)

 

 

[Northern Voice]

The Rays are down to [squints at roster] zero starting pitchers. 

I wonder if they stretch Glasnow back out and let him go four or five innings... he might walk six though. 

 

[Capella]

Rays outfield went from Gomez-Kiermaier-Mallex to Pham-Kiermaier-Meadows overnight. 

I don’t know a lot about those guys but that seems better. 

 

[Northern Voice]

If Schoop goes to Brewers where is Travis Shaw gonna play? Not sure why they traded for moose, Shaw is better. 

Villar the other way in this deal. 

 

[Epic Problem]

Being an owner of Muncy / Taylor in a weekly league, its safe to say that this Dozier to the Doyers trade is not ideal. 

 

[Epic Problem]

Dozier to the Doyers

Say that 10 times fast 

 

[Epic Problem]

Mike Rizzo - 'I believe in this team! So much that I'm going to stand pat....WAIT! I'm even going to take a piece away from it while I watch every other team in contention get better. Hell! I'm even going to take that piece away and give it to one of those contending teams. That's how much I believe in this team' 

Makes no sense at all.

Awful 

 

[wikkidpissah]

Shaw proved in Boston that he can't play OF

 

[JaxBill]

@TBTimes_Rays: #Rays are sending Meadows, just acquired from #Pirates, to AAA @DurhamBulls to play everyday for a while. Glasnow to join big-league team

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I took Steven Matz out of my lineup 5 minutes before game time. 

Whew 

 

[shadyridr]

Sale to the DL and Happ has coxsackie

 

[jamny]

Let's go Mets! Big 9th inning comeback!

 

[shadyridr]

The Mets holding onto deGrom and Syndergard thinking they are close to competing next year is great shtick. 

They're this close

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Let's go Mets! Big 9th inning comeback!

Really thought they should have gone for two in the 6th.

I had him in. Tanaka and Roark made it not so bad.

Bit weird to DFA Kelley. What he did wasnt THAT bad. Fine, small suspension but come on.

I told you last night he'd feign an injury.......typical Matz.

I get more excited than I should when I see Sonny Gray trending.

The guy is a joke

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Would think it gets Bader more reps as the starter and O'Neill back on the big league roster?

This is what I would expect.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Ben Zobrist is such a rock solid all-around baseball player. I think you have to see him every day to appreciate how good he is. 

He has a great eye at the plate, and seems to square up every pitch. And he plays an excellent second base and is more than adequate at the corner outfield spot, and can even man first or third in a pinch. 

It wouldn't be surprising if he is a productive player into his forties, as is skill set is so varied.

Even I like the guy.

 

[JuniorGong]

The Yankees record against the Orioles is a real headscratcher.

 

[Northern Voice]

Tyler Clippard starting for the Jays tonight.

The thing about the Rays doing the opener thing is that their relievers aren't all hot garbage.
