With the trade deadline coming just a few days from now, the Tampa Bay Rays reportedly are drawing significant interest on infielder Isaac Paredes.
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is reportedly drawing big interest ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.– The Houston Astros are desperately trying to land a starter, focusing on Flaherty and Fedde, and would also love to acquire Rays infielder Isaac Paredes, too.Those likely aren't the only teams interested in Paredes, but they do appear to be the most aggressive right now. The 25-year-old Mexico native is putting together a nice season for Tampa Bay, hitting .247 with 16 home runs.
Because of those facts, the Rays don't have to trade him and could elect to hold onto him for a while longer. That said, they appear willing to move most people at the deadline, having already traded Randy Arozarena and Zach Eflin . Logic would tell you that that probably wouldn't want to trade Paredes to the division-rival Yankees, but they did just move Eflin to Baltimore, so who knows?
Paredes made the All-Star Game this year and is in the fifth year of his career with the Detroit Tigers andHe's a .234 lifetime hitter but has really turned it on in the last two years since becoming a true regular.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
