Salary dump for maybe 2 months of Ray if he's any good, or 2 months plus one year if he isn't 2021 Robbie Ray?

I don't think he'll opt out. He's not coming back until after the all star break (games resume July 18). At that point, there's only 67 games left. Best case, he gets 12 starts, maybe goes 5-3. Best case. He probably won't want to test the market with $50 million in two years remaining on his contract.
