Seriously Rays! Seriously! Not only do you have the second worst ballpark, but the worst team! This is what bothers me. They have got the best young pitching potential, great defense in Kevin Kiermaier, and great hitting with Longoria, Miller, and Morrison. This doesn’t make sense. Chris Archer has a 7-16 record but is still called a Cy Young candidate. LonGo is having a career year. So has Brad Miller. If Curt Casali could get back on the tear he had last year, the Rays could be great. But why? The answer is pitching. They. Hoard. Pitching. When they sent Matt Moore to the Giants and got Matt Duffy in return, it was like the fountain of youth. But as I said before, LonGo is awesome and Miller, I turn around and see 25 jacks! Where is the Duffman supposed to go! If they want to revamp their team, the should really listen in. The Rays need to send Longoria and Archer out the door. Archer and Casali go to the Dodgers for Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig. Longoria to the Cubs for Javier Baez and cash consideration. Boom! Duffy moves to third, Miller goes back to short, Baez and Forsythe platoon at first, move Souza to DH, let Puig play right and Pederson play left. Of course, Puig needs to get back on track before he slides into the lineup. That is a roster destined for success.

What about the Cubs? Bryant and Longoria platooning? No way! Well Joe Maddon has his players play different positions. Bryant has shown that he is a reliable option in left field. So Longoria stays at third and every thing is happy! No so fast. The Cubs have Kyle Schwarber coming back next year. Kyle can’t play anywhere. The Cubs can get a good deal if they can send him to the American League for prospects.

In conclusion, the Rays can revamp their team if they trade away the things they have been hoarding. If these trades do happen, the Tampa Bay Rays will seriously have a shot at the postseason in the future.
