Tommy Pham has already made the Rays a better team
His talent and his intensity are likely to make him a fan favorite. Just don’t mention that hitting streak. The Rays and their fans may be mere October spectators in 2018, but the team’s future looks bright. This is largely thanks to several years of rebuilding the prospect pool, with the Rays recognized as one of the top organizations across baseball. But if the Rays are successful in 2019 and 2020, it may be thanks to two deadline trades. The trade of Chris Archer to the Pirates, with pitchers Shane Baz and Tyler Glasnow along with outfielder Austin Meadows as the return, was...

Pittsburgh Pirates series preview: Wait, who are the Royals playing?
At the trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Pirates tore a page out of the 2017 Royals book and went after what they thought was the final piece of the puzzle to push them into the playoffs. Neal Huntington and company sent Austin Meadows, Tyler Glasnow, and Shane Baz—all very serious pieces of what could have been the Pirates’ future—for Chris Archer. Archer is under control through the 2021 season and at reasonable prices through the entire run of his contract with two club options at the back end, so the deal wasn’t only for this year, but since they made the move, they have lost five...
