Tampa Bay Rays All-Star left fielder, Carl Crawford, has heard his name come up in trade rumors all year mostly due to his impending free agency. Adam Berry of MLB.com says that Crawford and the rest of the Tampa Bay clubhouse has been relatively at ease as the July 31st non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches because of the team’s success.

“I don’t think that our club gets caught up in that. I haven’t really gotten that vibe from them,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We haven’t had a bunch of our names bandied about as far as trades leaving us. There’s not a whole lot of worry from us going away. We’ve played to a pretty good record at this point, so the guys have done a nice job. Of course you’re always looking to make yourself better, but we also have guys in the Minor Leagues that we like, too. I haven’t gotten a real sense of concern or a sense that we need something from the group. I think they’ve been pretty good with the whole moment right now.”

Berry says that Maddon is happy with the his current team although he would obviously be in favor of a move that gave the Rays a better chance to win.

“I don’t think we’re about to turn down help,” Crawford said. “Everybody needs help. But we have a good team here. We feel like we can do it either way, but a little extra help never hurt anybody.”

As far as the front office goes, they will aggressively seek out a deal that will benefit the club, but they won’t make a trade for the sake of making a trade.

“We’re working hard not to create the illusion of that player and make sure that it’s someone we really want,” vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. “There are certain guys who fit that description, and hopefully we’ll be able to do something that makes us better.”

“I think we have really good players in Triple-A that I wouldn’t be surprised if they help us win games in 2010. Whether it’s in September or in August, I don’t know that yet,” Friedman said. “We’ll get through this Trade Deadline and assess the depth that we have and how it may fit for us going forward.”
