Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Rumor Mill
Tampa Bay had
preliminary talks with Kansas
City about Johnny Damon, but
nothing has materialized yet. (The
Sporting News, 12/1/00)
Although Jose
Canseco has expressed interest in
returning to Tampa Bay, the club
aparently has no desire to
re-sign him. TripleSteal would
have to rate this decision as a
home run for the Devil Rays, the
first one under GM Chuck LaMarr. (The
Sporting News, 11/22/00)
The Devil Rays do
not plan on being big players in
the free agent market this
off-season, and will likely keep
their payroll around the $55
million level next year. (The
Sporting News, 11/10/00)
Several teams
have expressed interest in
Roberto Hernandez, but the Devil
Rays plan to hold on to their
closer, possibly waiting until
the trade deadline in July to
trade him. (St. Petersburg
Times, 11/8/00)
