Rays News
- Rays’ Meadows tests positive for COVID-19 - Juan Toribio, MLB.com: Meadows gave approval to announce he did indeed test positive. Unclear how long he will be out, but obviously all of us wish him the best of health and luck in his recovery.
- Rays think outside the box with five infielders, two outfielders - Rick Stroud, Tampa Bay Times: Seems like the 2 man OF idea is not just a wild dream, but potentially another quirky strategy for the Rays to roll out at some point in the future.
#Rays Cash said they were experimenting with the two-man outfield and would consider it using it with a heavy groundball pitcher on the mound.

- A baseball trade!
The Kansas City Royals have acquired outfielder Franchy Cordero from the San Diego Padres for reliever Tim Hill, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.

Cordero has massive power and has played all three OF positions. Hill has been an effective lefty for the last two years.
