MLB Trade Rumors: Execs ‘Circling’ Rays’ Randy Arozarena, Díaz, Lowe amid Struggles

Teams are reportedly planning to target outfielder Randy Arozarena, first baseman Yandy Díaz and second baseman Brandon Lowe in trade talks with the Tampa Bay Rays ahead of the July 30 trade deadline.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported teams are hoping they can “buy low” on the Rays’ most expensive players given the team’s last-place standing in the AL East.

Arozarena is in the midst of his worst professional season. He’s hitting .175/.283/.319 with eight home runs and 20 runs batted in through his first 65 games. While Arozarena has two years of arbitration remaining, he’s already earning $8.1 million this season and will be well into eight figures in 2025.
