The Rays will do the Rays. They know they won’t sign him to a huge free agency deal or extension, so they’ll pull the trigger on a deal when they feel it’s right for them. They’ll be fine.

This is where small market teams who find success really screw up. They think they’re smart enough to win without their best players.
There has to be some retention of your top talent.

Rays breaking up a World Series team for some reason.....I know they got a lot for him, but the Rays were a team that could definitely win in 2021. It's a sad display for baseball with small market teams like them hurting. They sell before it's too late because they know they can't sign people long-term. I guess Morton is gone too, they really can't do much with the rotation they've got but can retool somewhat quickly. They could have a good core with these players, but prospects are always a gamble. It'll be interesting to see what the rest of the AL East does to react to this move.

You'll like the next move they're making too.

They just did for Darvish You keep saying that but not yet. They still have their all their top 10 internal prospects. Farm is intact still. This was a true salary dump for the Cubs.

They actually gave up mostly young teenager prospects which could be anything. Didn't sell the farm at all. Many people think this was a lopsided trade. It's a gamble for both sides. Prospects are just that, (very) young and unproven. Darvish, high risk with injuries and age, but high reward when healthy. Cubs should have gotten more.

San Diego is set up for immediate and long term success. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Betts/Bellinger/Muncy/Seager/Kershaw/Beuhler is pretty intimmidating. I'd like to see if or how the dodgers respond. The Padres are looking really competitive though, i don't think it's a major edge. Plus a 162 game season is different than a 60 game season.

Yeah don’t get me wrong I’m still thrilled at these moves but the Dodgers are still a thing and they have a solid group of guys there.

Something finally happened, and boy was it big... Lindor and Carrasco to the Mets for Ahmed Rosario, Andres Gimenez, and 2 prospects.
Didn't see that coming.

The way I see it, Mets are going all in. If they can, they'll hopefully already be discussing an extension with Lindor. Rotation looks great too: DeGrom, Syndergaard, Carrasco, Stroman, Matz? Offense continues to grow. I don't think the Tribe got as much as I thought they would to be honest, some prospects and Rosario/Gimenez probably won't be that impactful.

The Mask of Truth Tommy Lasorda died. At least he got to see his Dodgers win a World Series shortly before. RIP.
