Rays Reacts Results: How you graded the trade deadline
In my immediate reaction to the Rays trade deadline, I gave the front office an A-grade thanks to not only their additions at SP, RP, and C/No. 4 hitter but also their restraint in not trading the best prospects just to sure up the underperformance on offense at second base.

Following the Tampa Bay Rays' trade deadline, a survey of fans yielded mixed reactions with an average grade of B. While some praised the team's moves for addressing both pitching and offensive needs, others expressed concerns about second base potentially remaining a weakness. The absence of a reliable second baseman due to Ben Williamson's hamstring injury has led to a platoon between Richie Palacios and Cason Williams, leaving the No. 8 spot in the lineup vulnerable.
