New guys Armstrong, Stephenson and Diekman have pumped some life into this bullpen lately, however I do think TB will look to add to it by the deadline Here’s a thread of RP’s who I think fit the Rays mold and make sense as trade targets. Will add a few names every week 🧵⬇️

The Shane McClanahan news is brutal, but I just don’t see how you can put any blame on the Rays for this. He averaged just 86.7 pitches per start this year, bottom 10 among qualifiers. He also pitched on extra rest in over half of his starts. TB was very cautious, stuff happens.

The #Rays have called up RHP Tommy Romero. He’s got an extreme over-the-the-top slot which allows him to throw a great back-spinning fastball with huge ride. CB/SL/CH are his secondaries. His 2.33 ERA is the lowest in minor league baseball since 2019 (min. 160 IP)

Out of every single hitter selected in the 2021 draft, only one of them ran a sub-13 K% and a SLG above .600 during their first stint in pro ball. (Min. 40 PA) That would be 21 year-old 1B Kyle Manzardo. Expect him to move fast in this #Rays system

The guy just can’t stop pulling dingers. 2 more tonight. Paredes now has 1.8 WAR on the season which ranks 2nd among all big league 3rd basemen. (Chapman has 2.3)

Come on down Peralta. Rays are getting a much needed power bat:

David Peralta is a trade candidate that I like. Completely revamped his swing this year and is hitting many more flyballs and barrels than he ever has. He’s hitting .266/.322/.500 (122 wRC+) vs RHP and is still a plus OF defender. Would be a rental.

If you are one of the people saying “what the Rays are doing isn’t that impressive because of their weak schedule”, then how come no team has done this in the last 84 years? It’s an incredible run.

Wow! Rays have landed the youngest starting pitcher on the market (Eflin is 28y 7m old) Initial thoughts: An elite strike thrower with a wide array of pitches, has done an excellent job at inducing soft contact. Will be digging in more.

Since being traded to the Rays, Brett Phillips has produced 3.8 WAR in just 409 plate appearances. That's a 5.6 WAR per 600 PA pace which is among the league leaders over this span. The Rays are so good at putting players in positions to succeed and Phillips has done exactly that

What’s so neat about these extensions is the public consensus at the time was that TB gave too much to get these guys. Bauers too much for Diaz, Solak too much for Fairbanks, Hernandez too much for Springs Rays firm belief in their evals has led to so much team & player success
