The Rays are my second favorite team, when not watching the Sox I’m watching the Rays.,

Rays don't waste outs everything they do has a purpose

Good start for the Rays.

Guardians are fortunate to still be in the game but Rasmussen dominant last time out against NYY

That offensive philosophy never works

get em on get em over get em in Rays Ball + Caminero

Honorable mention to the Tres Garcias outfield.

I just loved the story of Abreu's Amigos when he was here so I will go with Pito. Plus he basically earned his MVP in one series against the Cubbies so that's never a bad thing.

Oh that's a good one

still have to listen to Ron Darling lol? nice to see someone throw out Ramirez finally on the basepaths

BM is a minor leaguer rushed too soon. He can spend a few years with the C Ballers and not be missed.

HaHn btw

Ryan Cordell

It's half empty now.

Positionally he is kind of a floater, but i do not get rid of him at any cost. I find him a spot and I let him lead off every game. Too much of a spark plug, and with all of the low average, strikeout hitters we have, I want someone who finds his way on base at all cost.

Braden is going nowhere. He'll get every chance to succeed as he should. Hes young and just scratching the surface.

I just can't watch any baseball right now.

Charlotte throws off all the numbers. See Gonzalez, Jacob. Not about a specific average with Bonemer, but the quality of at bats/contact. Even 24-27 homers likely to be much more impactful than Braden's 2025. Defense still a work in progress.

Let's not get too high on Bonemer just yet. A .260 hitter in AA doesn't project to the majors very well. Colson lesson learned. We don't need another .200-ish unproductive bat. If he can get to upper .200's in Charlotte and maintain his slug then he'll be ready for the show.

Baldwin is miles away from having the same impact as Antonacci. Another hitter that strikes out way too much and has similar defensive shortcomings. He's fine off the bench though. Really comes down to Doyle Acuna Baldwin (and back up ability at SS vs Acuna). Probably want him to play everyday for 2-3 months at Charlotte to retain his offensive rhythm.

Ant man kinda seems like the odd man out and I’d consider trying to sell high on him. He’s just not any good in the outfield. Brooks and Bonemer are more exciting to me as left fielders. I hope Benny gets cut.

Yamamoto finally wore down Bauers with the Tristan Peters at bat of the season hard to imagine both Snell and Glasgow will be untouchable

Pretending nothing changed in the last few years isn't intellectual honest. There was no "stadium deal" here until the established land swap can get agreed to. The original plan changed when the state and city said and Ishbia was brought in.

This isn’t an opinion piece; one author is primarily a business and labor journalist, and the other formerly wrote for Crain’s. It’s just a timeline of events/communication between the significant parties involved in the proposed Railyards development. This thread already has a frequent poster of lengthy opinion pieces. I’m not attempting to add any more.
