Yasmani Grandal, the top FA Catcher on the market, is headed to the White Sox on a 4 year $73M deal. Good deal for the White Sox, good deal for Grandal. This also means now the rest of the Catcher market is wide open. The top end is set, and now those who were in or at least kicking the tires of Grandal have to shift their focus to the next in line.
The Rays are one of those teams. They have some money they can spend, but years AND money are going to be hard to part with, with the Rays cautious FO.
