I can't decide what's more bewildering: That the Red Sox really feel like they did something on Wednesday morning, or that so many of the rest of us don't. The clearest emotion to find is joy for Rafael Devers, his evolution from a 16-year-old Dominican free agent to the unquestioned face of the franchise complete in a shade less than a decade.…

Rays officials couldn't have been much more pleased with how the 2019 season turned out. They made it to the playoffs for the first time in six seasons as the core of young players they cleared room for in previous roster reshaping developed into impact players, and they boasted openly about how well set up they were for the future. "There's so…

The Angels come into play having won four of their past five games, after walking off Washington on Sunday. Now, they have their newest addition in Noah Syndergaard on the mound, though they're just 2-2 in his outings this season. Meanwhile, the Rays lost their only game of the week on Sunday, 2-1, when the Mariners walked them off. These are two…

Randy Arozarena has been one of the more vital players to the Tampa Bay Rays' operation of late. That narrative is furthered by the Rays trading Austin Meadows to the Detroit Tigers.

The Tampa Bay Rays had a positive 2021 season in which they finished with a 100-62 record, which was the best in the AL East. They were knocked out of the playoffs in the AL Division Series to the Boston Red Sox, sending them home earlier than the team had hoped. The core of this unit has remained mostly intact and will be geared up for a run this…

The Rays do a lot of things differently. And that includes how they are defending their first American League championship since 2008. Since losing to the Dodgers in the World Series, the Rays have parted ways with two of their top three starting pitchers, Blake Snell and Charlie Morton, along with a few other players, while making only moderate…

The Tampa Bay Rays don't think like you and me, or any other team in baseball for that matter.

The Blue Jays are in pretty good shape when it comes to October baseball. Per Fangraphs' postseason odds, the Jays have a 99.9% chance of making it to the MLB playoffs. It's not locked up yet, and won't be until they mathematically clinch, but all signs point to more than 162 Blue Jays games this year. That doesn't mean the Jays don't have anything…

The Yankees thankfully made scoreboard watching a little less stressful yesterday, overcoming an early deficit and to power past the Brewers and salvage a game in Milwaukee.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The best move the Tampa Bay Rays made all year was adding Jeffrey Springs to the starting rotation.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - There's a lot at stake for the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, and manager Kevin Cash is hoping for another nice boost from pitcher Shawn Armstrong, who was awesome in an emergency role last Tuesday.

My…

The Yankees have only managed a 3-5 record in German's eight starts, but the 30-year-old has performed relatively well since being inserted into the rotation in late July.
