We're talking about payroll yet there is a very realistic scenario we get a salary cap and the Rays have to spend a bunch to reach the salary floor.
Until we know what the next CBA will have in it, it's a waste to speculate on this kind of stuff.
Drew Rasmussen is "at the top of the list" when it comes to the biggest trade candidates this offseason, per @JeffPassan
Rasmussen's $20M salary would push the Rays' payroll above their 2026 level without making another move.

Wild’s broadcast didn’t show that angle. Generational flop by Bogosian. Wilson’s crash out was valid 😭
A Larkin/Kucherov swap makes sense for so many reasons
- Kuch wants out and Detroit has been looking to get back into contention
- Larkin wants out, TB is on his list, and TB's center depth is lacking
- TB can bolster prospect pool that is currently very weak.
I love how all the Hometown Remix jerseys have these intricate design details and Chicago was just like "fuck it, make a Green jersey and call it a day"
The thing I love about the Hometown Remix/Reverse Retro series the NHL has done is that they all released at once. MLB's City Connect just does them randomly and some teams don't even have one.
