In the midst of all these deals, all this American League East discusion, among the huge contracts and discussions of C.C. Sabathia, Manny Ramirez, Mark Teixiera, and Francisco Rodriguez and other off-season rumors, stand the American League champion, Tampa Bay Rays.
They have been watching these teams sweep up this big deals, but especially the Yankees. An American East team. The Rays do not have the funds to go after these guys, however they did pick up someone, Pat Burrell. They have signed him to a $16 million 2 year contract. Good move or bad move? Will the Rays make the play-offs again?
