1 potential trade that could significantly bolster Rays lineup

After acquiring Gavin Lux from the Reds, the Rays have finally filled one of their most important roster vacancies. Now, the biggest sore spot is clearly at the catcher position.

Therefore, trading for a catcher could be the Rays' best bet at improving at this essential position. Potentially, another deal with the Reds is in the works.
