Rays Trade Rumors Roundup For July 12th

We're less than three weeks away from the 2015 MLB trade deadline, which means there are plenty of rumors swirling around the Tampa Bay Rays and what they might do on the trade market. With that being said, here's the last in our Rays Trade Rumors Roundup For July 12th.

Rays unlikely to make significant deadline additions

Rays general manager Matthew Silverman says that he remains confident in the Rays despite their recent slide, indicating that he does not see the need for significant deadline additions, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. “If we’re a healthy team there isn’t a glaring need for us at the deadline,” said Silverman.

Will Marc Krauss be Tampa's only move?

The Rays acquired first baseman/outfielder Marc Krauss from the Angels in exchange for righty Kyle Winkler in late June, giving Tampa some relief while they dealt with numerous injuries. 

The left-handed-hitting Krauss was designated and outrighted by the Angels earlier in the year. He was off to a rough .143/.211/.286 start over 38 plate appearances in the majors at the time.
