Rays News:
- Brad Miller became the franchise leader for home runs in a season as a shortstop, and did so by becoming the first Ray to have a ball land in the Rays Tank in a regular season game
- There aren’t many players on this team who know they won’t be traded...so all they can do is wait
- A new potential stadium site has opened up for the Rays that’d give them a waterfront location
- Other possible locations
- Looks like the Rays will be adding at least one player today
Looks like Jennings is ready to come off DL, but #Rays won't announce anything until tomorrow. Much could change before trade deadline

Sources: #SFGiants pursuing #Rays’ Matt Moore, viewing him as controllable LHP to go with Bumgarner. Might not have prospects to get him.

With Norris injured, #Dodgers currently have 3-man rotation: Kazmir, Maeda, McCarthy. The price for #Rays pitchers just went up.

#SFGiants continue to explore starter market. #Rays Erasmo Ramirez is one name on their list.

Dodgers' talks with Rays ongoing. Other clubs say Ray still most likely to trade Moore but they've never stopped listening on Archer.

Rays could strike now, but will still have Archer/Odo/Moore as chips vs. awful FA SP market this winter. Demand will be high, more buyers.

Rays and Dodgers have talked mostly about pitching, but OF/1B Steve Pearce makes a whole lot of sense for LA. Pearce likely to be moved.
