Rays could definitely use Fuentes but will have to fight for him, something the Rays aren't used to. Never have the Rays been in this situation of bidding on a guy to help propel them to the playoffs. Yankees and Phillies are also interested in Fuentes. Rays are also rumored to be looking at Sabathia but don't see them breaking up a young core to do it. Rays need to focus on Fuentes since Percival will be out for a long time.Tampa Bay's interest in left-handed reliever Brian Fuentes picked up in light of Rays closer Troy Percival returning to the disabled list after aggravating the left hamstring that originally forced him to the disabled list. The Rays are looking for a left-hander to work late innings and to provide late-inning protection for Percival in their bid to claim a postseason bid for the first time. Al Reyes, Tampa Bay's other experienced closer, has been out since June 9 with left elbow tendinitis.
