About this listen
Could the Tampa Bay Rays' recent roster moves spell trouble for their playoff hopes? On today's Diaz de Rays, we break down the surprising choice to designate Harold Ramirez for assignment, despite his impressive batting stats. I share my candid thoughts on who might have been better candidates for reassignment, offering a critical perspective on the Rays' strategy. Plus, there's a silver lining—Drew Rasmussen and Jeffrey Springs are on the verge of returning from injury, and their comeback could be the game-changer the Rays desperately need.
We also tackle the tough topic of Wander Franco's court case and its potential fallout for both his career and the team. Reflecting on this situation from a parent's viewpoint, I express the emotional and practical concerns surrounding Franco's future with the Rays. Shifting gears, we assess the team's overall performance at the 68-game mark, scrutinize their recent struggles, and ponder the potential acquisition of new talent like Luis Robert, Jr. Listen in as we weigh the risks of sacrificing future core players in trades and look ahead to the Rays' upcoming matches with a mix of realism and optimism.
