Enjoy engaging in conversation that furthers discussion about all things Tampa Bay Rays and Miami Dolphins, as well as MLB and NFL at large.

@ECloskyWTSP @TheELBushman @BleacherReport @Sean_SmythTBR @iAmNickWize Too much risk for a guy with elbow issues. And this isn't Shohei. Not trading that level of prospect.

More likely? Get Peralta for low price if believe he will pitch better outside of NY. Or a trade of that ilk.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@jakelarsen I think Melton & 1 of Larnach/Nootbar takes care of the outfield and they can play matchup ball. Regardless of Lux, I'm all for Arraez. There just isn't a big bat available it seems--so lean into platoon & contact emphasis.

Will the A/C be set to 78° at Taylor Swift's wedding, @NYCMayor?

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@DanSlaubaugh Add in a guy like Trevor Larnach and I think we can platoon like crazy the rest of the way.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

Foster Griffin (Nationals) is a dark horse SP to keep an eye on

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

#Rays trade targets:

RP - Luke Weaver (Mets) - he's AL East tested

SP - Reid Detmers (Angels) - they've liked him for a while

Bat - Luis Arraez (Giants) - best bat available at a position of need, matches offensive contact philosophy

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@jakelarsen He was only a platoon guy vs RHP--but he was effective. My point is they always find a piece like that from a "minor" or overlooked trade

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@jakelarsen Joey Wendle, Matt Joyce, Ben Zobrist...for the last 15+ years the Rays have excelled at finding the Vilade types.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

#Rays offense would sure look different if it still had Arozarena, Paredes and B Lowe.

They have never replaced these bats. Paredes is the only one with positional challenge. This deadline is all about still trying to find replacements for Arozarena and Lowe.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@ltw0303 @RaysBaseball Brody Hopkins and Ty Johnson will still determine this.

Though, how different would this offense be if they kept Arozarena, Paredes and B Lowe.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@ECloskyWTSP Common issue for Caminero

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

Ben Williamson and Cedric Mullins couldn't have had worse ABs to end the game. Ugly.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

My #Rays trade deadline goal: Seiya Suzuki & Luis Arraez

With the call-up of Jacob Melton, that would be quite the lineup upgrade

Arraez
Diaz
Aranda
Caminero
Suzuki
Melton
Simpson
C
SS

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

Why does Caminero absolutely suck at baseball intelligence? He consistently makes boneheaded plays.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

Fun exercise as draft day gets closer.

[Jacob Larsen @jakelarsen]

#RaysDraft2026 Since the #Rays have the number 2 pick and one of the 3 largest(@jjcoop36 inform me if I'm wrong ) bonus pools, how the #Rays pick us related to the 1-1 pick, but if the Rays are able to draft one of these listed players, who would you choose? Why?

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

@ECloskyWTSP Great breakdown

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

This is the type of stuff outfielder #Rays need to develop and soon.

A 2028 core of Caminero, Aranda, Gillen, Melton, Simpson, Gray, Bodine, etc has massive potential

[FantasyBaseballHero @fantasybbhero]

Theo Gillen man… only in High-A but he’s got to be nearing top 10 overall prospect territory.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

Some good platoon options, rotation options if still healthy by end of year (Martinez-Jax).

But flaws not going away without upgrades & will lead to slumps throughout the year when not firing on all cylinders.

Need 1 more legitimate bat at 2B or SS, maybe 1 SP if good enough.

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

#Rays are good but flawed team. Offense can go cold & tank a week of games. Rotation is battling injuries & shows signs of wear on back end. Bullpen slowly yet surely rounding into form.

But have legitimate top 3 (Diaz-Aranda-Caminero), game 1 & 2 starters (Shane-Ras).

[Cami,Cami,Cami, Caminero @Trifected]

Awesome

“Loch Lomond” in Foxborough. Quite a sight. #WorldCup
