ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- How much different will the Tampa Bay Rays be by the start of Tuesday night's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels?
The Rays (53-53) have dropped three straight, allowing at least 11 runs in each of their losses to the Baltimore Orioles, and the Angels (54-53) are coming in from the opposite direction, having won four of five coming in.
But Tampa Bay is expected to continue to sell off some of its key assets in advance of Tuesday's trade deadline, potentially including top starter Chris Archer.
