LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — They have a reputation for being fearless, and it is well-earned.
The Rays traded Blake Snell two years after he won a Cy Young Award. They dealt Austin Meadows a year after he drove in 106 runs. They gave up top pitching prospects for Nelson Cruz (Pffffft!) and Randy Arozarena (Woo hoo!) in separate deals 18 months apart.
But what the Rays have done so far this offseason may be their biggest gamble yet.
