But I’m not a big believer in Niemann. Be curious to see what the Rays get for a starter if/when they trade one.

When they’re good, they do good work. They’re just unreliable. Why would they get rid of their number two pitcher when the bullpen is virtually empty?

Starlin, huh? Okay, then.

I highly doubt the Cubs would be willing to part with Sterling Castro or Geovany Soto, and those are the only pieces on their entire roster that I could see the Rays wanting.

I don’t think they have the prospects to match up either. Maybe Brett Jackson plus some others? Brett Jackson isn’t that great, though.

Ideally, they’d get something to help their offense, either this year or moving forward when, even without Garza, their rotation becomes something to behold.
