The Tampa Bay Rays own the best record in the American League and second best in Major League Baseball as they’ve gone on a 18-3 tear over the past three weeks.
This afternoon the trade deadline passes with the Rays looking like a near lock (99.9% playoff chances and 68.9% to win the American League East) for the playoffs, so any move should focus on improving a playoff roster and not be about just getting there.
As for now, the Rays continue to put pitchers on the Injured List at a worrisome pace. It looks like Charlie Morton, Nick Anderson, and Oliver Drake should return sometime this week, and Morton probably during this series.
