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 […]
The Tampa Bay Rays are exploring a multitude of options to upgrade the MLB roster and have expressed interest in Los Angeles Angels infielder Zach Neto, Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta and more.
This was the 15th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Tuesday, July 21st). According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), prospect Theo Gillen has usurped Caden Bodine to reign supreme in the system, although both prospects are among the top overall in all of […]
The New York Yankees are three games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for a lead in the American League East, and with a Boston Red Sox team hot on their heels following a tie of their franchise-best 15-game winning streak, there’s not much room for error. If the Bombers want to make their path to […]
Updated predictions for the 2026 MLB Postseason bracket with a week until the trade deadline, with the Yankees, Rays, Brewers and Dodgers all vying for top seeds.
At an earlier point of the season, when it seemed the White Sox would be going through their typical year-long search for viable hitters, Everson Pereira seemed like a potential port in a storm . He's someone with at least the physical ability to hit 20 home runs in a season, even if coaxing it out of him would be pulling off a developmental feat that neither the Yankees nor Rays could complete. "A real toolsy guy," said Will Venable. "Really good defender. Obviously a ton of power. We've se...
Following the recent unveiling of interior renderings of the Forever Home ballpark, the Tampa Bay Rays today released illustrations related to the surrounding mixed-use development, with a focus on premier office space that, according to Rays Chief Executive Officer Ken Babby, has attracted early interest from Fortune 500 companies based outside the region and within. […]
If you’d told me the Rays would only scratch across one run Sunday, I naively would have assumed they’d take the L and give the Yankees a chance to gain further ground on them in the AL East. Silly me. That run held up, thanks to a stellar pitching performance from Drew Rasmussen and a […]

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.

Go Rays!
For nearly two full years, Brayden Taylor looked like another minor leaguer whose career would stagnate once he reached Double-A. Originally selected by the Rays as the 19th overall selection in the 2023 draft, Taylor has an excellent debut campaign, hitting .242/.361/.516 with 5 HR over 108 PA over the remaining minor league season. He […]
If the Tampa Bay Rays truly want to be taken seriously, then they must be aggressive ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline.

Starting pitcher Zach Eflin came to the Orioles from the Tampa Bay Rays in July 2024. The 32-year-old right-hander went 5-2 with a 2.60 ERA in nine starts. In 2025, when his season ended early because of back surgery, he was 6-5 with a 5.93 ERA in 14 games. In December, Eflin re-signed with the […]
