Rays officials head to Disney for this week’s winter meetings admitting they don’t know what they’re doing. Wait — that’s not exactly right. It’s more that they don’t know what they’re going to do.

They’re going to trade at least a couple of their bigger-named, higher-salaried players, ceding ownership’s request to cut payroll.
