Looking ahead to the deadline, a couple of former Rays who could definitely help are Tommy Pham and Andrew Kittredge. Both are on expiring contracts and should not cost them a lot in return. I think both of them would enjoy coming back. Then there is also the Marlins who are selling. Former Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia may be someone they are thinking of moving, as well as 1B/DH Josh Bell and/or pitcher Jesus Luzardo.
Good stuff, guys! A phantom IL stint might be just what the doctor ordered for Randy, but at the start of the next road trip. The extra bulk and/or no WBC seems to have slowed him down this year, and I don't think he played in any winter leagues either. They shuffled line-up tonight, but I would've had it a little different 1(R) Caballero SS 2(R) Diaz 1B 3(L) B. Lowe 2B 4(R) Paredes 3B 5(L) Aranda DH 6(R) Randy LF 7(L) Rortvedt C 8(R) Rosario RF 9(R) DeLuca CF
Listener in NYC wants to stop the fluff about BLowe- 132 average now, waiting for a big 220 average at best? Lots of chatter about historic play and expectation of greatness… 220 doesn’t feel that exciting even with a few homers, IMHO. Seems like we have better in the bench.
It has been tough week for the rays

Great episode ! Love listening to Evan talking about the Rays.
When the Rays place Josh Lowe, who do they call up to replace him?
Swing in the Zone

Ru ready to sign Trevor bauer yet? He's tearing it up in Mexico!
I totally agree about Harold Ramirez. Why they keep benching him is beyond me when he hits and hustles consistently.
