Ray observes that the Phillies appear content with moving Tijuana Walker to the bullpen, viewing it as an internal upgrade. However, he argues that this adjustment alone will not suffice, and the team must pursue an external acquisition to bolster their roster. Additionally, with JT Realmuto's contract nearing its expiration, Ray believes it is time to initiate discussions for a new deal, especially after hearing insights from Jayson Stark earlier in the week.

As the Eagles commence their OTAs this week, Ray expresses concerns regarding the safety position. He advocates for the signing of Justin Simmons to bring in a veteran presence, prompting him to question whether the team has allocated too much of its budget towards the offense at the expense of the defense.
