MLB Trade Rumors: Rays 'Will Listen' to Calls on Randy Arozarena, Yandy Díaz, More

As the July 30 MLB trade deadline quickly approaches, the Tampa Bay Rays are reportedly open to offers for some of their top players.

According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Rays "will listen" to calls for outfielder Randy Arozarena, first baseman Yandy Díaz and third baseman Isaac Paredes.

Morosi named the Seattle Mariners as a team that has "interest in adding an impact bat." While they have "have yet to engage in serious dialogue" with the Rays, he added that "the teams are frequent trading partners and talks could advance in the days ahead."

Entering the second half of the 2024 season, the Rays rank fourth in the AL East with a 48-48 record and appear to be on their way to missing the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Still, it would be a bit of a surprise if Tampa Bay gave up one of its top three batters.

Díaz leads the team with a .273 batting average and 104 hits. Paredes ranks first with 15 home runs, 50 RBI, a .364 on-base percentage and a .459 slugging percentage. Arozarena is tied for second on the team with 12 home runs and 14 stolen bases.

The Rays have an uphill battle in the competitive AL East that is led by the Baltimore Orioles (58-38) and the New York Yankees (58-40). Tampa Bay could be ready to make some changes and build for the future, so teams around the league could take advantage with an enticing deal for the Rays' top hitters.

Tampa Bay will return to action on Friday at home against the Yankees.
