Joe Ryan was famously traded from the Rays to the Twins at the 2021 deadline as part of the deal that brought Nelson Cruz to Tampa Bay for its postseason push and veteran leadership in a clubhouse that saw its future in Wander Franco. Fast forward a few years and Ryan looks like an ideal […]
A strong weekend in Toronto left the Yankees back where they want to be, alone in first place in the AL East, and with the best record in the American League for good measure. Despite falling behind the Rays by as many as five games last month, New York has surged to put themselves back […]
A low scoring, back and forth affair took a turn in the top of the eighth inning during which the Rays broke a 3-3 tie with a five-run inning punctuated by a pair of blasts from Caminero and Mesa Jr. The Rays left Anaheim with a series loss, but were able to salvage the last […]

Darren Raddysh exploded onto the radar in the National Hockey League this season with a breakout year that saw him post 70 points on the Tampa Bay blueline. But the 30-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent and has set himself up for his first big payday. He will be the top UFA D-man on the market if he makes it there. The Lightning would love to keep him, but their first offer on an extension, as reported by insider Dave McCarthy, is unlikely to keep Raddysh in Central Florida. M...
