ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays don't like to classify themselves as buyers or sellers. They like to act as the market dictates, and they make whatever move makes the most sense at the right time.
"We don't characterize ourselves at all," Rays president of baseball operations Matt Silverman said. "We know where we are in the standings. We dug ourselves a big hole. At the same time, we have confidence in this club. Whether we are active in the trading market or not is going to be determined by the market, by the conversations, by our record."
The Rays are currently last in the American League East.
