Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays have already been one of the most active teams this winter, making a variety of trades to clear 40-man roster spots for their emerging young talent. The Rays have always been one of the most unique front offices in baseball, and it appears they will be operating like that once again.
Sources: #Rays among several teams showing trade interest in #Athletics catcher Sean Murphy, a Gold Glove winner in 2021 with 3 years of control before free agency.

The Rays, as usual, are taking a buyer-and-seller approach to the offseason market. @MLBNetwork @MLB
The Rays will be looking to acquire Major League talent, especially for their lineup, while flipping their excess of young pitching to improve in that area. While St. Louis will be competing with Tampa Bay for the likes of Sean Murphy, they could help each other out with their needs pairing well.
The Rays could be interested in the likes of Juan Yepez, Alec Burleson, Nolan Gorman, Lars Nootbaar, and Dylan Carlson, and provide the Cardinals with more rotation depth, high-level bullpen arms, or maybe even an ace like Tyler Glasnow.
The problem for St. Louis is that they will not be the only team calling the Rays, and with most of the league eying their pitching, the Cardinals will have to be careful in order to get good value here. But the Rays are in a place where they have so much good pitching that they may be forced to trade some, and the Cardinals need to be ready to pounce.
