The Rays have navigated a rocky start to the season and currently hold a record of 49-43. They sit six games above .500 and in third place in the American League East, while also occupying the second Wild Card spot. Their strategy combines rebuilding with contending, and they're considering trades to bolster their roster for a probable playoff run. Key areas of concern include the outfield, catching, and additional relief pitching, as current players have not consistently produced satisfactory results in these positions.
The Rays are currently six games over .500, good for third place in the American League East but sole possession of the American League's second Wild Card spot.
President of baseball operations Erik Neander and his staff will be looking to add to the roster ahead of what looks like a very likely playoff run.
Potential needs include outfield, catcher, right-handed bat, and another reliever.
Kameron Misner has seen the most plate appearances of any Ray in the outfield this year, but batted only .214/.274/.347.
