The Rays just pre-empted the entire market by making a massive trade on the second day of free agency.
Partnering with Jerry Dipoto -- the new master of ceremonies in Seattle -- the Rays and Mariners exchanged three players each in a massive trade for both organizations.
Heading to the Mariners are breakout rookie SP Nate Karns, young lefty reliever C.J. Riefenhauser, and top-twenty prospect OF Boog Powell.
Dealing from the team's surplus of pitching, the Rays receive two desperately needed left handed bats in (likely DH) Logan Morrison and skilled SS Brad Miller, as well as once-respectable RHRP Danny Farquhar.
