The Tampa Bay Rays are a team that many people are expecting to be active on the trade market this offseason.
Multiple veterans on the Major League roster are viewed as excellent trade chips this winter. Second baseman Brandon Lowe is going to receive a lot of interest, as will designated hitter Yandy Diaz.
Had the team not opted to decline the club option on closer Pete Fairbanks, he would have generated a good amount of interest on the trade market as well.
While there hasn’t been much movement on those fronts yet, the Rays did recently complete a trade with the Minnesota Twins, continuing their early offseason roster shake-up.
