Latest news and updates about the Rays
The Mariners announced that infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma. He has the right to elect free agency but MLBTR has learned that he will accept the assignment. Mastrobuoni has been a light-hitting utility/depth player for many years now. In 208 big league games for the Rays, Cubs […]
Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]
The Yankees and Pirates weren’t the only teams to get washed out of play on Tuesday night. In addition to numerous minor-league postponements, the only thing that could apparently stop the streaking Red Sox in their path was the rain. Like the Yankees, they will have a day/night doubleheader on deck today against the Orioles, […]
Welcome back from the All-Star break! We're headed down a very important stretch of baseball over the next few weeks, as that will greatly shape the trade deadline. The Mets look like they may trade everyone, and it sounds like the Rays are going to be aggressive buyers. We've also been looking at the Tigers […]
Apparently the Rays needed to leave the country to get back on track. Their offense perked up in their 7-1 win on Monday night, but it caught on fire – in a good, and not a dumpster way— tonight. Every player other than Taylor Walls had a hit, and even Walls still managed to score […]
The Jays haven’t, obviously, been good this season. This week has felt like the bottom finally falling out, though. They’re now equidistant between the third wildcard and last place in the American League. Their run differential is tied with the last place Angels. It hasn’t been fun to watch, but after months of thinking they […]
Go Rays!
Game #101. With 2 wins in the last 7 playoffs seem a long lost hope. I would like some runs. Note the plural form of the word. We went through a nice stretch where we scored 39 runs in 6 games, just a few days ago. Could we please do that again? There has been […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rays fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This week’s reacts poll follows up on a question posed by Marc Topkin in the Tampa […]
Even though playoff contenders like the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays are in need of help at catcher for the stretch run, the market for that position doesn't appear to be very robust leading up to the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
The Tampa Bay Rays right-hander has three fastball variations, one of which came to be with a single hitter in mind.
Thanks to two important home runs from Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Yankees opened up a new week and a new series with a win. While Ryan Weathers didn’t have a great start on the mound, the Yankees offense did enough to pick up an 8-5 win over the Pirates on Monday night. The Yankees held […]
Hell has frozen over, pigs have flown, and the Tampa Bay Rays held on to a lead and won a baseball game in the second half. The never-wavering All-Star Nick Martinez, also known as “El Capitan”, proved to be the streak stopper, going six innings and only allowing one run. I feel like Rogers Centre […]
Rays 7 Blue Jays 1 I really thought the Rays had more than seven runs. It was a terrible game in all ways: We did have 8 hits on the day. Clement, Lukes and Springer had 2 each. Varsho (bloop single) and Kirk had the other two. I guess we only hit into 2 double […]
I’m past hoping for wins. I’d just like it to look like the Jays are trying. I understand that you can try and have it not look like you are, but…..please put in an effort today. Maybe more than 5 hits….let’s go for 8 hits with at least one being for extra bases. And let’s […]
Another Monday, another new series starts. Four games against the Rays. The pitching matchups: Max Scherzer starts for the Bisons Wednesday, they are saying he’ll have another rehab start after that. If he could have a great start for the Jays after that and get traded off the next day, that would be the best […]
Three MLB division leaders are winning in defiance of their run differentials while the teams chasing them profile better. From the Rays' Fenway sweep to the White Sox seizing the AL Central, here's the one key each contender needs for a strong finish.
The Tampa Bay Rays did not allow a hit in the third inning Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox scored three runs anyway. A walk, a hit batter, another walk, a passed ball, an error, and a groundout turned a tied game into a three-run Boston lead, sending the Rays toward a […]
Boston defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-1, on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park to extend its winning streak to 13 games, matching the second-longest streak in franchise history.
Here's the latest Twins news, including an update on Connor Prielipp, the Yankees and Rays scout Ryan Jeffers, and the results from the Cubs series.
The Boston Red Sox just swept the Tampa Bay Rays—the team that entered this series leading the AL East. It’s their fourth consecutive series sweep. Thirteen wins in a row. 50-48 and rising. Holy crap. I can’t keep saying things that show my disbelief at this happening, in the best way possible. OK, onto the […]
Go Rays!
It's doubtful the Twins will sell at the deadline if they continue to play well, which is bad news for the Yankees, Rays and other contenders.
July 18: The Rays completed the deal on Friday by sending right-hander Trey Pooser to the Cardinals, per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The 24-year-old was a 10th-round pick in 2024. Pooser has split the 2026 season between Single-A and High-A. June 23: The Cardinals have traded right-hander Chris Roycroft to the Rays in […]
Wilyer Abreu homered twice, including a go-ahead two-run blast in the seventh inning, to lift Boston to a 7-6 comeback win over the Rays on Saturday afternoon. The victory was Boston's 12th straight, its longest winning streak since June 2006.
