You would think the Rays are going to have a selloff if they aren't playoff team at the deadline. They stretched their budget this year, and are not going to lose money to miss the playoffs by 2 games. -
Trading HK and Norby is leftovers but 4 non-top 100 prospects gets Gausman. Every market is different, but sounds like your just circling wagons around a cliche. -
I think you’re having trouble getting an answer because you’re making a comparison that isn’t particularly apt. Grayson is 24 years old. Shōta turns 31 in a couple months, and he’s got 1200+ professional innings on his arm (on top of a full college career). You also have two years of pre-arb left with Grayson, followed by three years of arbitration. Something like 5/$35M. Assuming Shōta’s 2025 option gets exercised (which should be the hope, because it would mean he’s been healthy and pitching like the “ace” that you’re calling him), you’re looking at something in the realm of 4/$70M. So one fewer year at twice the cost. They're not particularly comparable. You’re talking about a kid who has yet to even enter his prime and a veteran who is starting to approach the end of his. The respective returns for the two would presumably be pretty different — and that’s without even addressing the issue that you’d very likely be buying Shōta at the absolute peak of his value right now. -

I actual prefer a one o’clock game Sunday. We get the extra rest. The Yankees will be playing and then hopping in their beds around 2 AM. -

What about the Rays? I know it’s hard to trade in division. They need offense and you could kill 2 birds with one stone. Zach Efflin and Jason Adam would solve both starter and bullpen issues. Rays may be extra incentivized to get rid of Efflin contract. -
Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed. No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy. -

I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top
