Rays Win A Challenging One: Rays 1, White Sox 0
If you love pitching and defense, this was the perfect game for you. Then again, there was not much need for defense in this contest as Drew Rasmussen and four relievers struck out 16 White Sox while scattering five singles in this 1-0 victory. This was a tremendous and needed bounceback from last night’s contest […]

Rays Trade Candidate: Adley Rutschman? In this economy?
There have been some rumblings that Adley Rutschman could be a trade target for the Rays following the 2026 All-Star Game.

After exiting his start following three innings of work on Thursday, Shane McClanahan has been placed on the Injured List due to the southpaw experiencing some soreness in his back.

The Rays are shopping, is anyone selling?
The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline is here and this might perhaps be the most unpredictable deadline in recent memory. The third Wild Card and lack of breakout teams in the American and National Leagues mean that only a couple of teams consider themselves to be out of playoff contention. Entering play on Friday, there are […]

The Rays Trade Deadline Problem
As the Tampa Bay Rays sit in a strong position in the American League standings in late July 2026, the organization faces a familiar but critical decision point. With the trade deadline set for August 3, speculation has intensified around potential moves to bolster the major league roster. Yet, recent reporting from Ken Rosenthal underscores […]
Lights up — Rays 3, Rangers 0
I wish I had more to say, but all the Rays’ offensive prowess came in the first inning this evening — and nothing else after that! Casey Legumina was tonight’s opener, working a 1-2-3 first inning, and his night would be finished thereafter. On pitch one in the bottom of the first, Yandy Diaz swatted […]

Offense stifled as Rays drop opener: Rays 1, Rangers 4
Well, this one was a dud. Coming off a series sweep of the Cleveland Guardians, the Tampa Bay Rays’ offense remained quiet at the plate and dropped the opener to the Texas Rangers by a score of 4-1. Griffin Jax got the start for the Rays and was serviceable, allowing just a pair of runs […]

With the August 3 trade deadline holding the potential to swing the season for the Tampa Bay Rays, let’s ponder the Rays trajectory. As things stand, the Rays (62-43) hold a 2.5 game lead over the Yankees (60-46). Making the playoffs is essentially a forgone conclusion, with FanGraphs putting those odds at 98.6%, but winning […]

This was the 15th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Tuesday, July 21st).

“Two in a row is called a winning streak”: Rays 3, Guardians 0
If there were a regular season game to exemplify how the Rays and the fan base are rolling, I have to say, tonight was it. The 2nd overall pick throwing out the first pitch, Nick Martinez shoving, and the big three of Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda, and Junior Caminero, and Yandy Diaz consecutively getting huge […]

Four for Fortes: (Devil) Rays 11, Guardians 3
Tampa Bay brought the unusual combination of the the original home white jerseys and the 2001-2005 era hats. That unusualness continued in the game because these two teams frequently play close games, but this game was never really in doubt as the Rays went up in the second inning and never looked back in this […]
