The Rays signing Jake Brentz to a minor league deal has me thinking… is this a steal for Tampa Bay or a last-ditch effort for Brentz? He clearly has the stuff, a 97mph fastball isn’t easy to come by, but the control issues are glaring. Can the Rays, known for their pitching development, unlock his 2021 potential? Or is this just another reclamation project that fizzles out? I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Is Brentz’s career salvageable?

More broadly, the Rays off-season moves have been interesting. They seem to be quietly building something. Are they contenders in the AL East, or are they destined for another year battling for a wild card spot? With the moves other teams are making, the AL East is shaping up to be a bloodbath. I predict the Rays will surprise people this year, but I'm open to being wrong. What do you see for their future?
