Tis’ the season to be jolly, and hopefully it will be for the Tampa Bay Rays as numerous teams are very interested in the availability of pitchers within the rotation that could possible land a veteran and boatload of close to major league prospects.
Unfortunately, from the way things are going the holdup to any trade could be the Rays asking price for Chris Archer. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays have asked for five or six players in return for Archer, though he is not sure if that is team specific.
