ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays' front office is in the midst of trying to piece together the 2018 team.
Chaim Bloom is right in the middle of the fray, hoping to find the right combination of players to put the Rays into the playoffs next season. Despite his busy schedule, the vice president of baseball operations managed to free up for a Q&A with MLB.com.
MLB.com: You've had some time to review the 2017 season. Do you feel like with the talent you had that the team underacheived, or overachieved with 80 wins?
Bloom: I think we all felt we had the pieces, and we had the talent to play in October, and obviously, we didn't end up doing that.
