The Rays have already made three trades this off-season and rumors abound that they are willing to make more. But despite that eagerness to make another blockbuster deal, the Rays may have to wait.
The latest rumors suggest the Rays are willing to move relievers Jake McGee and/or Brad Boxberger, and at least one more starting pitcher, possibly Alex Cobb, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery.
However, according to Rays consigliere Ken Rosenthal, other teams may not be ready to make a deal with the Rays, especially for a starting pitcher, even though he refers to the Rays as “the most open-minded” to trading a top-of-the-rotation starting pitcher.
