Joe Maddon is in the final year of his contract and he doesn't expect anything to change. "Everybody wants to know who's going to be this year's Rays," Maddon said. "I'm looking forward to the Rays being this year's Rays. "I trust this organization. There's a lot of trust," Maddon said. "I've had one-year deals my whole time in baseball, OK, a couple of two-year deals, you know, back in 1981, for $12,000 ..." He added, "The moment I start focusing on a contract and how much money I'm going to make, my ability to do what I do well will be affected. I'm already being paid to do the job I'm supposed to do this year."
