Closer Pete Fairbanks and starter Zach Littell might be on the move, with the two Tampa Bay Rays pitchers reportedly drawing plenty of interest on the trade market.
"The Rays still have Fairbanks on a fairly good contract for the next few years, so I'll think they'll hear what they want in the next few hours and trade him," Sherman said on "High Heat" with Chris Russo. "Or not – they could go right back into the marketplace again in the offseason or next July."
The 30-year-old righty is due $3.7 million in 2025, and he has a $7 million club option on his contract for 2026. "I know this will sound crazy with as much as Tampa has done, Chris, but Tampa Bay does not consider themselves out of the race," Sherman said. "I think they feel like they've traded stuff that they have some internal replacements for."
