The Tampa Bay Rays might not have the best odds to win the World Series this year, but they're still 16-11, second place in the AL East, and have a realistic shot to make the postseason.
Despite the team's lower budget, the Rays have some of the best players in the sport. Yandy Diaz is an elite hitter, and Chandler Simpson is very exciting, but the true superstar of the roster is obviously Junior Caminero.
Former MLB general manager Jim Bowden, for The Athletic, is urging the Rays to make a huge commitment to Caminero and sign him to a long-term extension without any reservations over wasting money.
Rays urged to extend Junior Caminero
"He's willing to sign a long-term contract, and despite the Rays being burned the last time they agreed to that type of deal (Wander Franco), Caminero is the right player for the Rays to make that commitment to," Bowden writes.
Tampa Bay signing Caminero to a long-term deal would be ideal for this team. While they might not spend the most, especially compared to the New York Yankees, they are still a competitive team, and shouldn't let all of their stars go.
