The Guardians and Rays are frequent trade partners - will they be again?
Entering today, the Guardians were 24 games over .500 and the Rays are 1 game under .500 but with a -61 run differential. It seems fairly realistic that the Rays will be a good distance out of a wildcard spot as the month of July continues and looking to move some pieces to get younger, cheaper players.
One of those players who may interest the Guardians is Rays right-handed pitcher, Zach Eflin. Eflin is 30 years and 2 months old, under team control through 2025 with approximately $22M owed.
