John Romano: Hey, Rays still can get Juan Soto. You just need to wait until he’s 35.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — When you have a center fielder hitting .147, you obviously need to upgrade.

Yeah, that’s the snarky version of the trade deadline in Tampa Bay. With the Yankees, Astros, Blue Jays and Mariners all hitting the gas this week in search of an American League pennant, the Rays are still driving with their turn signal on.
