The Tampa Bay Rays are currently sitting atop the AL East as the All-Star break is about to get underway. That also means there's not much time before the trade deadline.
This season, the deadline is on August 3. With the Rays likely to be buyers, and aggressive buyers at that, there could be some fun additions on the horizon for the Rays.
According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, amid the Rays' plan to be aggressive, they are reportedly setting their sights on Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers as a trade target this summer.
"The Rays, who suddenly are seeing that the AL is wide open for the taking, plan to be aggressive buyers at the deadline," Nightengale writes. "They not only have their eyes on Skubal, but they have shown interest in seeing whether the Diamondbacks would move second baseman Ketel Marte and Giants All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez as a backup plan."
