The 2020 MLB trade deadline is just a few days away with the deadline set to officially pass at 4pm on Monday, August 31st.
With that being said, Buster Olney reports that the Tampa Bay Rays have been among the more aggressive teams in trade talks and understandably so as their pitching has been absolutely ravaged by injuries this past month. Heading into play on Wednesday, the Rays have 9 pitchers on the Injured List with Jalen Beeks likely joining that group by the end of the day.
Other teams say the Rays are being very aggressive in conversations, six days away from the trade deadline.
