8/21/25	Rays' Yandy Diaz gets encouraging injury update from Kevin Cash. The Tampa Bay Rays fell 7-4 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night at Steinbrenner Field, but the biggest development wasn't on the scoreboard. Yandy Diaz, the team's most consistent offensive threat, left in the fifth inning after injuring his right leg. Postgame, manager Kevin Cash described the hamstring injury as “low-grade,” offering a rare note of optimism in a season trending the opposite direction. Diaz had just delivered his second hit of the night when he reached for the back of his leg while running out a single. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/tampa-bay-rays/rays-n...

7/31/25	Red Sox Trade Rumors: Deal For Rays' Yandy Diaz In The Works?. A deal with the Tampa Bay Rays can be made, but the price tag might be too high. “The Boston Red Sox are among the teams showing interest in Yandy Diaz, according to a source, and could intensify efforts in the coming hours,” BBWAA reporter Francys Romero posted Wednesday on X. “Still, the Rays are unlikely to move Diaz without a strong return, either upper-level prospects or an MLB player.” Source: https://nesn.com/2025/07/red-sox-trade-rumors-deal...

7/28/25	Cincinnati Reds Scouting American League East Team Ahead of Trade Deadline. The Cincinnati Reds were among the teams with scouts at Yankee Stadium for the Yankees series against the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Erik Boland of Newsday Sports. The Reds are currently 56-51 and sit two games back of the third and final National League Wild Card spot. They are said to be looking for a bat to improve their lineup as well as bullpen help. Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe, and Pete Fairbanks are all players the Reds could potentially be looking at to acquire from the Rays.

7/28/25	MLB rumors: Red Sox urged to trade for 'absolutely perfect fit' from Rays. The Boston Red Sox are rolling into the trade deadline with some momentum, as they are fresh off a series victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. As a result, their front office is expected to be busy at the trade deadline as they attempt to reinforce their roster for a potential wild card run, and that could lead them to swing a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays for former All-Star first baseman Yandy Diaz. Whereas the Red Sox have surged into playoff contention over the past few weeks, the Rays have seen their luck swing the other way, which could lead them to act as sellers at the deadline. With Boston looking for a right-handed bat who can play first base, Diaz has suddenly emerged as a very enticing trade target for them. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-rumor...

7/26/25	In-Division Seller 'Softening Stance' On Boston Target. The Boston Red Sox are an obvious suitor for Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz — should he soon come available. Diaz, 33, is one of the most intriguing potential deadline trade candidates, having recently signed a three-year contract that still has a club option remaining for whichever team controls his rights through 2026. The Red Sox appear to have interest in being that team, continuously being tied to the veteran throughout the last several weeks. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal recently stated his current club — the Tampa Bay Rays — have “softened their stance” on potentially trading the desirable bat while undergoing a brutal stretch that has pushed them outside playoff contention.
