The non-waiver trade season has come to a close and the Rays roster is not drastically different.

- ACQUIRED: Reliever Chad Qualls from the Arizona Diamondbacks for a player to be named. Qualls takes Grant Balfour's spot in the bullpen while he's on the 15 day disabled list. When Balfour comes back, the Rays will have to make a move, most likely with either Lance Cormier or Andy Sonnanstine. ↵
- NOT ACQUIRED: Starting pitcher Cliff Lee, sluggers Adam Dunn, Jayson Werth or any of the other big names (Manny Ramirez? Seriously?) that were circulating on the rumor circuit. ↵
- They brought up #1 prospect, starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson, although he's not expected to stick around after making a spot start this Monday against the Twins. ↵
Those are the facts. So, quite simply, what do you think?
