TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays have traded right-handed pitcher Zach Eflin to the Baltimore Orioles, according to multiple sources, including Jeff Passan of ESPN.
In 2022, the Rays signed Zach Eflin to the largest contract given to a free agent in Tampa Bay Rays history. Eflin is 5-7 this season, with a 4.09 ERA and 87 strikeouts.
This is the second trade for the Rays today, already trading outfielder Randy Arozearena to the Seattle Mariners.
At 52-51 and 9 1/2 games back in the AL East race, the Rays are in sell-mode as they approach the trade deadline on July 31.
This is also the second trade of the day for the AL East-leading Orioles, after trading for RHP Seranthony Dominguez from the Phillies.
According to ESPN's Passan, the Rays received three players in return from the Baltimore Orioles.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
