Rays Option Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham Amidst Inconsistency and Trade Rumors

The Tampa Bay Rays have optioned right-hander Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham following a recent inconsistent outing where he allowed four runs in just one inning. Manager Kevin Cash stated the move was a difficult but necessary decision, aiming to provide Bradley with a better environment to refine his secondary pitches. Despite his demotion, Bradley, who remains a crucial long-term asset, has also been identified as a potential trade target ahead of the July 31 deadline.
