Report: Rays willing to listen to offers for Paredes

The Tampa Bay Rays are open to listening to trade offers for All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes, sources told Andy Martino of SNY.

Tampa Bay is reportedly also planning to be active at the July 30 trade deadline.

Paredes is arbitration-eligible through the 2027 season. However, the payroll-conscious Rays have traded stars who were under team control in the past.

The 25-year-old has 15 homers with 50 RBIs and an .823 OPS over 91 games this season after going deep 31 times with 98 RBIs and a 137 wRC+ across 143 contests in 2023.

The Rays entered the All-Star break 10 games back of the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East lead and 5.5 games out of the final wild-card spot.
