With Price, Hellickson, Moore, Rays will make the playoffs next year. Probably means redsox aren't gonna get in for next few years atleast.

Rays still need bats.

Trade shields, problem solved

All things considered (inc. salary), if you were Tampa, would you trade Shields over Niemann or Davis?

Shields should bring back way more than either of them. they need a star bat in their lineup to go with longoria and I don't think you pull one with Davis or niemann.

The Rays will also soon need to start ponying up for some of these guys, or not. Price and Upton would be first, then Longos contract will be up.

[Jax Teller]

I think there's 0 chance that Upton remains a Ray and that doesn't just have to do with money.

Kinda funny (not really) how Brackman makes his debut on the same night where Moore makes his first start. What could have been

The Rays have options on Longoria until 2016

[awy]

wouldn't surprise me if they locked up price or moore.

maybe they want to trade pitchers though.

[teknetic]

They could trade Davis and Shields (separate deals) and insert Cobb and Moore. Could also trade Cobb. I can't think of many premium/cheap bats they could get in return, though.

Alonso? Brown?

They need a catcher, Yamani Grandal of the Reds? Reds should be able to deal him for some pitching.

Those prospects were traded for Adams.

[TheHugeUnit2]

Those prospects were traded for Adams.

Nah, only Erlin and Weiland went for Adams.

[nhyankeefan]

How do Erlin and Weiland compare to Kelly, Rizzo and the other guy the Padres got for Gonzalez?

[Yankees1962]

Nah, only Erlin and Weiland went for Adams.

That's what I meant about those two prospects.

Better.

Pirates prospect Gerrit Cole, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 Draft, gave up three runs on three hits over 2 1/3 innings in his professional debut for Mesa. He walked one and struck out two, reaching 100 mph with his fastball

Really good news:

Red Sox minor leaguer Ryan Westmoreland will face live pitching in games in the Dominican Instructional League later this week. It will be the first time that Westmoreland, 21, has played in a game since undergoing surgery to remove a cavernous malformation in his brain stem on March 16, 2010.

Doubtful. RT @jluckhaupt: @Kevin_Goldstein Do you think Brackman will be of any use to the Reds?
