ST. PETERSBURG -- Major League Baseball's non-waiver Trade Deadline is fast approaching. After Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, the Rays will have a better idea about what the team will look like going forward.

"It's a crazy time of year with all these moves being made," outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said. "For us, it wouldn't surprise me of two or three guys weren't here when we play Los Angeles on Tuesday.
"That's the world we live in here with the Rays and with how things have been going for us and what other teams in our division are doing.
