The Tampa Bay Rays took a look at their American League competition and then took a look in the mirror. They quickly came to the conclusion that they were the best team in the AL. They have proved it throughout the season. The Rays are in first place with a 68-46 record — just one-half […]

The Yankees fell in lackluster fashion on Wednesday, scoring just a single run en route to a 3-1 loss. Will Warren wasn’t as sharp as his previous outing, but when your offense is as hard-pressed as the Yankees’ lineup is to score multiple runs in a rally you’d have to be in phenomenal form to […]
After a dominant series sweep of the Kansas City Royals to begin the home stand, the Colorado Rockies were swept at the hands of one of the best teams in baseball. Despite solid pitching from the home team, the Rockies offense could not solve the Tampa Bay Rays staff, falling 4-0 for their fifth shutout […]
The Rays were looking to complete their sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday afternoon while the rest of us were just scratching our heads over the randomness of a 3pm game start time. Oh boy, we can’t wait for the Rays to get back home again. For the final game of the series, they […]
Go Rays!
Tuesday night was destined to be the George Lombard Jr. Show in the Bronx once news broke that he would be promoted following an ugly loss on Monday to St. Louis. The 21-year-old made an immediate impact, showing off some slick defense while also belting his first career homer off Hunter Dobbins in a still-all-too-familiar, […]
Veteran pitcher Freddy Peralta’s impact on the New York Mets may extend beyond his time on the mound. Before the Mets traded Peralta to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, the right-hander helped facilitate a conversation between franchise cornerstones Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor after tension between the teammates lingered into their second season together. […]

As the clock ran out on the MLB trade deadline, the Rays made one final move by sending C Hunter Feduccia and minor league RP Jacob Kmatz to the Dodgers for Triple-A OF Jack Suwinski and international bonus pool money. The Rays have been linked to several popular IFA guys in the 2027 class (including […]

The Tampa Bay Rays must have believed that they could help get the best out of Freddy Peralta after trading for him from the New York Mets prior to the deadline. Peralta was one of the best pitchers in MLB last year when he was with the Milwaukee Brewers, but his play has fallen off […]

This was Tampa Bay Rays starter Freddy Peralta’s third time to face the Rockies this season following two starts with his previous team, the New York Mets. He came into the game with a 3-0 record at Coors in addition to a 1.23 ERA. But it didn’t seem like it would matter against a persistent […]
It was an impressive showing for the Rays offense last night, as Junior Caminero’s two homers and Jonathan Aranda’s four hits led the way to a 13-9 victory. But tonight it was all about the brand new battery, as trade deadline acquisitions Freddy Peralta and and Liam Hicks both made their Rays debuts at pitcher […]
Go Rays!
The Los Angeles Dodgers gave a big boost to their chances at a three-peat by acquiring two-time AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal in a blockbuster trade with the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night ahead of Monday’s MLB trade deadline. Los Angeles sent three prospects to Detroit: outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-handed pitcher River Ryan, and…
Over the last few days, the New York Mets went through with what has been speculated about for weeks: A […]
The Miami Marlins entered the trade deadline sitting firmly in the thick of the National League Wild Card race, just 2 games back of the final playoff wild card spot at 58-55. Instead of buying to bolster that push, the Marlins sold, shipping out catcher Liam Hicks to the Rays and left-hander Braxton Garrett to […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rays fans and fans across the country. The Rays were buyers in a sellers market for the 2026 trade deadline, and came away with four key additions: In my instant reaction, I gave the […]
Yesterday was that more elusive kind of day in the Major League Baseball regular season when fans paid more attention to news and trade rumors than the actual action on the field. Such is the Trade Deadline! And it was a busy one, even if Yankees fans saw no catching or bullpen help come through […]
The Marlins and Rays officially announced a trade sending catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to Tampa Bay for three prospects. Third baseman Brayden Taylor, shortstop Adrian Santana and right-hander Jacob Kisting are going to Miami. Tampa Bay already had an opening on the 40-man roster after designating Craig Kimbrel for assignment. Hicks will hopefully be a long-term answer for […]
This game had a little bit of everything, and it really was not as close as the final score. This game was well in hand very early, but Coors did what it often does and made things interesting late. It is rather crazy this game was 13-9 with the wind screaming in from left field […]
The Rockies pieced together a decent late rally, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an eight-run deficit on Monday night at Coors Field. The game capped off an action-packed day that included the Rockies trading Brenton Doyle, Antonio Senzatela and Victor Vodnik. This one got out […]
The Rays had an extraordinarily busy trade deadline in 2026, and in a pleasant surprise, they were the ones buying and not selling — and better yet, the Rays did so without trading any of their top prospects. Here’s a recap of the Rays moves, and with all of them happening in August: Before we […]
The Rays selected catcher Kenny Piper onto the major league roster on Monday evening. He’s in the lineup tonight at Coors Field, batting eighth against Michael Lorenzen for his big league debut. Tampa Bay also designated right-hander Chase Solesky as the necessary 40-man roster move when they finalized their trade for Tyler Wells from Baltimore. It’s probably a one-off […]
Go Rays!
There’s nothing like waiting until the last minute, and that’s exactly what happened on an action-packed day across the MLB as the trade deadline came and went at 4 p.m. MDT on Monday. The Rockies waded into the chaos, making three of their four trades in the final hours on Monday, but didn’t end up […]
