In the latest MLB Rumors, the Cardinals could consider trading Lars Nootbaar and the Rays emerge as a possible suitor for Tarik Skubal at the deadline.
It feels like Lars Nootbaar has been someone that could fit well on the Rays’ roster over the last few years. I think the timing could be right to acquire him this season if the Cardinals are willing to part ways with him. Nootbaar combines above-average on-base ability, defensive versatility, and multiple years of team […]
The Houston Astros acquired minor league infielder Raynel Delgado from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations, with Delgado assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land. The move is a direct response to two consecutive infield injuries that have thinned Houston's upper-level depth. Nick Allen went on the injured list with a hamstring strain last week. Braden Shewmake followed with an adductor strain. Both are unavailable, leaving the Astros short on versatile infield options at the Triple-A level. ...
It was a fine afternoon for baseball, because the weather is always great when you’ve got a dome. The Rays were looking to sweep their series against the Red Sox, and to get the job done, they had Drew Rasmussen on the mound. He was up against Jake Bennett for the Sox. Rasmussen got things […]
The Red Sox showed exactly why the lineup just hasn’t been good enough all season long. The group made the wrong kind of history in Wednesday’s matinee loss as the Tampa Bay Rays completed the sweep. Boston is 12 games under .500 as the season swirls further away from the team’s control. Here’s three takeaways […]
The Houston Astros got better in the infield this week, as they made a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire Raynel Delgado. “The Tampa Bay Rays have traded minor league INF Raynel Delgado to the Houston Astros in exchange for cash considerations,” the Rays wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Delgado is set to […] The post Astros boost infield depth with big Rays trade appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Astros are acquiring minor league infielder Raynel Delgado from the Rays for cash considerations, reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Delgado was not on Tampa Bay’s roster and would only require a 40-man spot with Houston if the trade were spurred by him exercising an assignment clause in his minor league deal. He’ll be assigned […]
Go Rays!
They’ve been tense, gritty affairs, but the Yankees have taken the first two games against the Guardians. It was Cody Bellinger with the extra-inning heroics on Monday, while Spencer Jones hit his first big-league home run and Jazz Chisholm Jr. the game-winner to lead off the eighth in Tuesday’s win. They’ll go for the sweep […]
CJ Abrams is just 25 years old, has 14 home runs, 51 RBIs, and a .283 average in 67 games, and plays for a Washington Nationals team that traded MacKenzie Gore in January and is clearly not built to contend over a 162-game season. ESPN's Jeff Passan explored the trade picture this week, naming the Yankees, Braves, Brewers, and Rays as teams that could pursue Abrams ahead of the August 3 deadline. Abrams is not a free agent until after the 2028 season, meaning any acquiring team gets two-pl...
The Rays were the kings of the two-out rally on Tuesday night in a 4-3 win over the Red Sox. Tampa Bay put Payton Tolle to the test early when Yandy Díaz lined a single to right, Junior Caminero followed by smoking a ball to the wall in center, and suddenly Tampa Bay had runners […]

Last night was one where a lot of Yankees fans were probably somewhat distracted by a certain basketball game being played at Madison Square Garden. Yours truly was among those. However, the Yankees had a game themselves on Monday night, and it was also quite the dramatic one. After going back and forth with the […]
Is Junior Caminero getting pitched around because neither Jonathan Aranda nor Yandy Diaz are hitting behind him in the lineup to “protect” him? How much influence does Caminero have on the number of pitches the batter ahead of him sees in the zone? Inspired by an article examining the statistical significance of lineup protection, I […]
The Red Sox offense was virtually non-existent Monday night.Opening a three-game series against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Boston managed just four hits and was held to one hit over three innings by opener Ian Seymour in a 3-1 loss.
Yanno, for a game in which the Sox only had five baserunners, made opener Ian Seymour look like Clayton Viola-Koufax for four (!) innings, Tampa couldn’t miss on challenges, and started with a leadoff home run by Yandy Diaz, tonight’s 3-1 loss wasn’t all that bad imho. Connelly Early pitched well and Marcelo Mayer absolutely […]
This game was unnecessarily close for the entire game because the runners in scoring position issues continued, but thankfully, Boston struggled to get anyone into scoring position all night allowing the Rays to score just enough to hold on with a 3-1 victory to open the series at Tropicana Field. The Rays started off with […]
