Rays think free agent Steve Pearce can bounce back in ’16

in Sports by

The latest free agent acquisition of the Tampa Bay Rays follows a familiar theme: buy low, sell high. The Rays have agreed to terms with ex-Baltimore outfielder Steve Pearce, who struggled through his most recent season but showed upside before that.

The future looks like Tim Beckham, hitting a two-run homer over the left field fence. Every day, as today’s pennant race gets away from them, the Tampa Bay Rays look more and more like tomorrow’s team.

Rays’ Matt Moore reminds fans of who he used to be

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Once, this was the way Matt Moore used to look. The profile is the same. The motion is the same. And the results were what they used to be. Yep, this is the guy you remember, all right. Moore was his old self Thursday night. Once again, he was the guy who won 17 games. The guy who was an all-star. The guy who looked like he would be a very good thing on the mound for the Tampa Bay…
