Another day and more stories about teams scouting Rays pitchers and rumors about teams interested in trading for Rays pitchers. But in the latest twist, one report suggests the Rays are playing hard to get.
Here are the latest rumors and reports:
- According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, the top talent evaluator for the Red Sox recently traveled to St. Pete “specifically to watch [Jake] Odorizzi.” The Rays are never going to shy away from trading in the division if that is the best deal on the table. But the Red Sox may shy away from sending too many good prospects to the Rays and making them stronger down the road.
