I just listened to it.
https://www.espn.com/radio/play/_/id/42391333


He said basically what we have all been hearing: " Randy, and Julio LF, CF Robles in right with Raley getting some time there. Cal is our catcher. Raley can play part of his games there @1B ideally paired with someone." " Moore is a gold glove super utility so he will be somewhere."
"We're looking to add @ 3B, 2B" & part of 1B"

Not what has been reported as add at 2B or 3B and then have a Josh and Dilly platoon @ 3B

Rays DFA former M's prospect Shenton. His is a 3B who raked in the Minors and held his own in brief cup o coffee in the Majors with a .745 OPS.

Rays must need the 40 space. I don't think they have to lose him though as he would have options. But I think this does expose him to the Rule 5 draft and so if anyone wants him I'm sure he could be had in a trade.

I wont be surprised if Dipoto checks in on this guy. He hit very well against LHP last season, and it's the type of underwhelming move Dipoto would be after.

Hopefully it's like the 4th best move..

Seem like an older Dylan Moore with bad D instead of GG D.

Yeah he's not much better in my opinion.

Difference being the .279 career batting average and .286 this season.

Seems like the kind of guy Dipoto would view as an upgrade and he'll justify it however he needs to.

If Dylan was the RH side at 2B and Solano was at 3B or 1B behind Raley, they could do worse.

He's not the kind of guy they need, but those type of bats are only available at 1B or DH this offseason it seems like. And that's only if they pull off hard to believe trades for a guy like Rooker.

They're in a tough spot if it's business as usual. We're talking about the scrap bins, meanwhile the Dodgers are meeting with Juan Soto.

TB continues to push the Re-Boot button. Jose Siri leaves them. He doesn't hit for average but is a speedy defender and he has pop in the bat. I think Lowe, and Yandy should be available but who knows.
