Daniels won't be calling the shots in Tampa. He's just a "senior advisor."
If the Rays want info on former Rangers, he can give his informed opinion.

Taj Bradley rotation ready and cut ties with Yarbrough?
Darragh McDonald
2:41
Yeah, Bradley is Rule 5 eligible and will be added to the roster in the next 27 hours or so.
2:42
He has a dozen Triple-A starts and could make the MLB jump whenever.
I don't think they guarantee him a rotation spot right this second but he'll be an option for 2023, sure.
Curtis

Did you used to work in the BOS FO?
Darragh McDonald
2:43
Because of my Irish name?

Bold prediction time: More likely to strike out 200 batters this year? Shane Baz in a full season in the rotation or Tyler Glasnow coming back from TJS
Darragh McDonald
2:44
I hate to break it to you but Baz is out for 2023 because he also needs Tommy John.
Jake

Do you see a big trade coming before todays deadline ? Or will it be 4 or 5 small trades to clear 40 man space ?
Darragh McDonald
2:45
I would guess it's on the smaller end. Those are usually the kinds of moves we see around the deadlines.
2:46
Shawn Armstrong, Yonny Chirinos, Ryan Yarbrough, guys like that getting moved for A-ball prospects most likely.
But I would be happy to be surprised with a bold strike! We love those at MLBTR.
Mets
2:47
Anthing to rumors we're getting any Rays pitching
Darragh McDonald
2:48
It would make sense. The Mets need to rebuild their entire bullpen.
They had, like, seven free agents?
Rays
2:48
Is it possible that they rays trade Arozarena this winter? I don't think they will but you can never count it out with the rays.
Darragh McDonald
2:48
I agree. I don't think they will but you never know with this team.
Zach

Do you have a Twitter?
Darragh McDonald
2:49
I hardly use it, but yes. I'm @darraghfilm
Minasian

Would you have interest in Jo Adell?
Darragh McDonald
2:50
I think the Rays can do better.
Moon Boy

First time "Daulton Jefferies" and "headline" have been in the same sentence
Darragh McDonald
2:50
Zing!

Why are there rumors about Rays listening to offers for Glasnow? That would seem very unlikely
Darragh McDonald
2:50
I agree it's unlikely.
2:51
I think some people just look at the Rays like a menu, since they make so many trades and never really declare anyone off-limits.
2:52
I don't think you can ever rule out anything, like I said earlier. But it would be really odd to extend a guy and flip him so quickly, especially when he spoke so openly about wanting to stay.
Jake Cronenworth
2:52
Yes, why do teams still trade with the Rays?
Darragh McDonald
2:52
Jake understands.
2:53
Xavier Edwards is still a nice prospect. But the Padres did all right on the deal.
Nice Try
2:53
Stop dodging the question, Darragh. Do the Rays have the prospects to land free agent Aaron Judge or not?!
Darragh McDonald
2:54
You can't rule out anything with these crazy Rays!

Any word on how likely it is that Brandon Lowe can come back from what looked like a pretty debilitating back injury?
Darragh McDonald
2:54
I've been getting a lot of questions about Lowe's injury and whether that means he's cooked.
2:55
The closest thing I have to a medical qualification is that my brother is a doctor. So, I don't know.
I'll ask him at Christmas time.
TxDude
2:55
Who are the likely non-tenders for the team?
Darragh McDonald
2:55
Anderson and Quinn were a couple and they've already been cut.
