I hate playing the Rays at the best of times, and doubly so when we have to watch games at the Trop. That this series, a four-game set with Tampa enjoying a four-game lead in the AL East, is of outsized importance for the Yankees’ playoff trajectory and is also coming at a time the […]
With the 2026 MLB Draft less than a week away, we’ll take a look at what the Rays are expected to do with their first round picks. We will update this as new versions of mock drafts are published through the day before the draft. Baseball America In BA’s latest mock draft, they’ve got the […]
As the trade deadline looms just four weeks down the road, the Rays are once again in the market for catching help, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. It’s a familiar stance for Tampa Bay. Rays catchers annually rank near the least productive in the sport. They’ve acquired names like Nick Fortes, Hunter Feduccia, Christian […]
Whoever is able to get a deal across the line prior to Aug. 3 might be the time left standing atop the AL East when all is said and done.
With the season past its halfway point, we’re starting to see each team’s true identity. There have been plenty of surprises thus far: the Chicago White Sox leading the AL Central, the Miami Marlins rattling off 20 wins in June, and the Tampa Bay Rays finding a way to lead the AL East. But with […] The post Which Team Has Been the Biggest Disappointment Halfway Through 2026? appeared first on Just Baseball .
It never rains, but it pours. On the morning of June 18th, the Yankees were sitting pretty at 45-27, holding a 3.5 game lead over the Rays and expected by most to coast to the AL East division title. In the two and a half weeks since, they’ve struggled mightily while the pesky Rays have […]
Alexander Alberto was a late signee in the Rays 2019 international class and is currently in the final year of his MiLB contract. It has been a long journey for Alberto, but this might be the year he gets a chance to stick in the majors. It almost happened with the White Sox when he […]
The Yankees have their biggest series of the year lined up starting tonight, and they could not be in a worse state entering it. Losers of eight of their last nine, New York has surrendered the AL East to the Rays who went on a big winning streak of their own at the same time […]
Go Rays!
TODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (44-47) will conclude their six-game homestand today with another rubber game, this time opposite the top team in the AL, the Tampa Bay Rays (52-44). RHP Peter Lambert (6-5, 3.51 ERA) will get the start for Houston as he looks to secure the series win opposite the Rays, who will […]
Junior Caminero is currently the most dangerous hitter in Major League Baseball. The Tampa Bay Rays third baseman has transformed […]
The Fourth of July was an ugly one at Yankee Stadium. Given a spot start due to Carlos Rodón’s injury, Brendan Beck got absolutely walloped by Minnesota, giving up three homers to put the Yankees in a quick 5-0 hole by the middle of the second. The offense didn’t do much in response, the bullpen […]
Is it me, or does it feel like the Rays almost never play well on holidays? Your gut feeling would be right, as Tampa Bay is now *checks notes* 10-18 on Independence Day. The Rays used some of their big pyrotechnics early, as the hottest bat in the sport, Junior Caminero, homered AGAIN in the […]
Go Rays!
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (43-47) will play host to the top team in the AL, the Tampa Bay Rays (52-33), for a July 4th matchup tonight at Daikin Park. Astros ace RHP Hunter Brown (1-0, 1.78 ERA) will get the start for Houston as he looks to snap the Astros two-game losing streak and […]
In one of four roster moves made before Saturday’s game against the Rays, the Astros optioned struggling outfielders Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land. Meyers, a Gold Glove finalist in 2024 and the Astros’ third longest tenured position player, went hitless in Friday’s 3-1 loss to the Rays, dropping his batting average […]
All-Star rosters will be announced this evening, and the Home Run Derby is starting to take shape. So far, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero is the only player to confirm their participation, but Hunter Goodman was seen taking batting practice from his dad yesterday: Does this mean Goodman is preparing to participate in […]
The Yankees at long last broke their losing streak, ending it at seven games after putting up five runs for the first time since June 19th against the Reds. The Twins had their chances to match them, but New York’s pitching held them in check with only Fernando Cruz getting himself into some trouble walking […]
In the middle of June, you would have had a hard time convincing anyone, let alone Katie Bueller, the Rays were playing well. Even tonight, after the 3-1 victory that gave the Rays nine straight wins, she was still in total shock: The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, and dweebies in Tampa Bay […]
Go Rays!
On Wednesday, Just Baseball released its American League and National League Players of the Month for June, and it should come as no surprise that the Tampa Bay Rays swept the AL honors. Third baseman Junior Caminero was named Just Baseball’s American League Player of the Month, while right-hander Drew Rasmussen earned American League Pitcher […] The post Drew Rasmussen Continues To Be MLB’s Most Underrated Starter appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Royals just can’t beat the AL East. They also can’t stop getting hurt. And they can’t stop giving up home runs to Junior Caminero, either. Or, well, they can now that they’re done playing the Rays for the year. I hope. Later, Jeremy is joined by Brian Page of Rapsodo to talk about all […]
After running their losing streak to seven games on Wednesday, the Yankees, and us frankly, got some respite on Thursday with an off day. Of course, something still ended up going wrong yesterday, but they at least didn’t put up another tally in the loss column. While the Yankees weren’t in action yesterday, other teams […]
If you would’ve told me the Rays would convincingly sweep a team on the road two weeks ago after what I saw in person at Dodger Stadium, I’d hedge your bet. The Rays, on their first west coast swing of the season, went 1-5 and lost three straight games in one-run fashion. and in the […]
