This ‘slapdick’ prospect is gonna be fun to watch The Tampa Bay Rays are finalizing a trade that would send outfielder Tommy Pham and infielder/right-handed pitcher Jake Cronenworth to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Hunter Renfroe, switch-hitting infielder Xavier Edwards, and perhaps another minor leaguer who has yet to be named. It was, well let’s say unexpected for the Rays to trade their best player in terms of fWAR from the past two seasons (Tommy Pham accrued 5.9 fWAR in a...

Early Friday morning, the Tampa Bay Rays dealt outfielder Tommy Pham and minor league middle infielder/relief pitcher Jake Cronenworth to the San Diego Padres for power-hitting OF Hunter Renfroe and Single-A shortstop Xavier Edwards. In doing so, the Rays received a controllable, elite defender while shedding a projected $8.6-Million in salary. Be that as it may, Pham was a beloved key member of the 90+ win 2018 and 2019 Tampa Bay ball clubs, whose presence will be missed. Renfroe, 27, was a...
Tampa Bay and San Diego remain busy on the trade front with a swap of outfielders and a change of address for a prospect.
The Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night traded away one of their best players, and Blake Snell was not a fan of the move. Snell was live on Twitch when he learned that the Rays had traded away Tommy Pham to the San Diego Padres for Hunter Renfroe and Xavier Edwards. “We gave Pham up for Renfroe and a damn slapd-ck prospect?” he said incensed. Here’s the clip: Why wouldn’t Snell be upset? The Rays just won 96 games and reached the ALDS. Why would they get rid of a guy who batted .273...
The Rays and Padres have agreed on a trade that would see Tampa Bay outfielder Tommy Pham and San Diego outfielder Hunter Renfroe switch clubs, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and Jeff Passan of ESPN. The Rays would also land Single-A shortstop Xavier Edwards, while the Padres would pick up an unnamed prospect to go with Pham. However, it won’t be announced until the players involved take their physicals Friday. This is already the second major outfield trade of the winter for the...

Daniel Robertson returns to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020 providing a great glove, a good eye and versatility. Tampa Bay Rays let fellow righties, Jesus Aguilar and Matt Duffy go in the off-season. If they don’t acquire another right-handed bat, Robertson could see a lot more action than the 84 plate appearances in his […] Tampa Bay Rays 2020 Player Profile: Daniel Robertson - Rays Colored Glasses - Rays Colored Glasses - A Tampa Bay Rays Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Will the Rays be leaving Tampa Bay, in part or in whole?
Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg has issues points of clarification in response to St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman’s memo this afternoon on the Rays Stadium Saga, and specifically in regards to the team’s proposal to split time between Tampa Bay and Montreal:

The Rays have about a quarter of the payrolls of the Red Sox and Yankees, but that didn’t stop them from winning 96 games in the same division. Why are the Rays the smartest team in baseball?

Looking at some more non-tendered names
Monday was the Major League non-tender deadline, at which time teams have to decide which of their arbitration eligible and pre-arb players they will offer a contract to. The Rays non-tendered Guillermo Heredia, making him a free agent, and leaving them with 39 spots filled on their 40-man roster.
They probably need to sign an outfielder, so it’s not quite right to say that they have room to pick up a new player, but,...

The list looks tempting. Could Tampa Bay find room for any of these guys?
The MLB non-tender deadline came and went on Monday, with the Rays non-tendering Guillermo Heredia while the rest of the league decided who they did and didn’t want to go to arbitration with.
The pool of players non-tendered now immediately enter free agency, where the open market will determine their value. This year in particular, the list of newly available players looks...
In a surprising move, the Oakland Athletics released reliever Blake Treinen and the Tampa Bay Rays need to act fast and sign him before somebody else does. After a disappointing year from reliever Blake Treinen, the Oakland A’s cut ties with the right-hander who was only a season removed from a dominant 2018 campaign.

The former Ray will stay in Florida
Last night, as news of non-tenders spread around baseball, we learned the Miami Marlins had laid claim to Rays 1B/DH Jesus Aguilar.
A legend in Milwaukee, who made the All-Star team during his time there and even received MVP votes in 2018, Aguilar had a remarkably poor season in 2019, and while the Rays were happy to give the slugger a shot, his power never really showed itself in Tampa Bay. In his 107 PA (37 games) with...
