@TBRaysCentral That’s nice but all 3 OF spots should be opene for upgrades. OF trades will have bigger impacts than what’s on the market at SS/C
1/3 of the way into the season and the 5-9 hitters have 4 total HRs.
If Simpson’s OBP is strictly from his singles, then he needs to be replaced.
@FanStreamTampa@JPPetersonshow@IndyCarTim Ohtani talk sounded legit though. It was a 2-3 month rental in 2023 when the Rays were on their way to 99 wins. Luckily Angels backed away because 1) Ohtani blew out his arm a couple weeks later 2) Wander blew out his career a couple weeks later.
@cowboyaroza Pull him if there’s two outs and he’s on 2nd base, not when he’s 90ft away.
TB really need to replace 2/3rds of the OF. Can’t be serious contenders when your OF might not hit 10 HRs combined all season.
But a big bat, just one can put Yandy back at leadoff and Simpson 9th.
