While James Shields, and more recently Jeremy Hellickson,
have been the two Tampa Bay Rays’ starting pitchers most mentioned in trade
discussions, there are now rumblings that the team could part ways with
left-hander David Price in exchange for a big bat this offseason, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
So, is there a scenario in
which the Rays could move both left-hander David Price and righty James Shields?
Of course, if the respective prices are right.
Some around the league are skeptical that the Rays will
trade either Shields or Price this winter, according to Rosenthal. Tampa Bay
would instead ‘keep the band together’ for at least one more season in hopes of
making a strong run in a weakened American League East.
However, Shields is only under contract for one more season
after 2013, and some believe the Rays could shop Price next winter extensively
if they are unable to ink him to a long-term contract extension.

Rays might shake up starting rotation
After much talk the past few years, the Tampa Bay Rays finally appear ready to trade a starting pitcher. In fact, they could even trade two, considering that they've got eight to choose from.
So, is there a scenario in which the Rays could move both left-hander David Price and righty James Shields? Of course, if the respective prices are right. The Rays, though, are more likely...
Will the Rays Trade James Shields or David Price?
With center fielder B.J. Upton most likely leaving for free agency, the Tampa Bay Rays will have some gaps to fill in their lineup this off-season.
Unless they sign a high-profile free agent like Josh Hamilton (which I discussed in my last feature), the Rays will need to make a move to land a bat. The Rays have a solid pitching staff. Some may even say they have a pitching...

Bottom of the second inning, and as Upton walked toward the plate, he might have noticed that no one was referring to him as the future anymore… It wasn’t much of a crowd, and therefore it wasn’t much of a heckle, but what it lacked in long and loud, it made up for in short and sweet. This was the sound of a crowd protesting spoiled brats and mouthy prospects and unpaid dues...

At the GM meetings, Ruben wasn't expecting to make any major moves, but maybe lay the groundwork. On Thursday night, the Phillies general amnager did just that, as he has been communicating with outfielder B.J. Upton's agent.
