The Rays and Padres are reportedly discussing a massive deal - in scope and number of players - according to Ken Rosenthal.
We heard earlier in the Winter Meetings that Wil Myers's name had emerged as a trade candidate, and it was unexpectedly. The former Rookie of the Year's contract will remain affordable for a long time, and he's coming off what should be considered a down season after a sophomore slump and a broken wrist during a fielding blunder.
Myers is also somewhat without a position, given the emergence of Kevin Kiermaier and the availability of defenders Ben Zobrist and David DeJesus. Those names were the more expected trade targets, but here we are:
Sources: #Padres, #Rays discussing significant trade. Talks involve a number of players. Wil Myers would be main piece going to SD.

We do not know how close the sides are to an actual deal, or any of the other players involved.It's a safe assumption, however, that the cost to land Myers would be astronomical for San Diego.
Everyone has their price. Wait and see.
