List of former Tampa Bay Rays are still led by David Price, James Shields

in Sports by

Evidently, the Milwaukee Brewers are weary of Matt Garza. The Brewers told Garza to go home for the birth of his twins, and well, just to stay there. Evidently, Garza didn’t react well to being pulled from the rotation and didn’t want to pitch out of the bullpen. With $25 million due in his contract, odds are, he’ll be back. That caused a little wonder, however. Just how are the old guys for the Tampa Bay Rays doing? Are the…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays are 10 times as unlikely to win the World Series as the Toronto Blue Jays. According to betting odds published by Bovada, the red-hot Blue Jays are suddenly the betting favorite in baseball to win the World Series.

Well, they’re a 40-1 longshot, tied with Baltimore for 13th…

For the Tampa Bay Rays, there are more reasons to keep smiling. Not only is the team on a winning streak and an offensive resurgence, one of their pitchers might return. Drew Smyly, out for most of the season with a torn labrum, could come back Sunday. Smyly, one of the better pieces the Rays received in last summer’s David Price trade, had a 2.70 ERA in three starts this year. In all, he has a 1.96 since coming over…

Did Tigers get more for David Price than Rays did?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

This year, he was worth a high-ranking pitching prospect. Last year, he was worth a high-ranking pitching prospect. This year, he was the throw in price of a couple of minor league pitchers. Last year, he was worth the throw-in of a light-hitting infielder. So here’s a question: Did the Tigers get more for dealing David Price to the Blue Jays that the Tampa Bay Rays did for dealing him to the Tigers? One year later, it seems comparable. The…

Rays win as sensation Curt Casali hits two more HRs

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For crushing Curt Casali, the markings of stardom were all around him. Who would have expected all of this from a guy who just got to the Tampa Bay Rays? There was the standing ovation after his ninth-inning strikeout, followed by his first-ever curtain call, a tip of a cap from a guy who barely knew what he was doing. There was his Gatorade bath, his second in two nights. There were all the texts from all of his friends,…

Carl Crawford omitted as Fox picks Rays ‘Franchise 4’

in Sports/Top Headlines by

No Wade Boggs. No Fred McGriff. Especially, no Carl Crawford. When Fox-TV announced its “Franchise Four” list Tuesday night, they didn’t spend a lot of time looking through the history of the Tampa Bay Rays, or the Devil of the franchise that came before them. The best Rays of the Rays have come in the last decade, and Fox concentrated on those years. The picks: Former pitcher James Shields, former pitcher David Price, former second-baseman Ben Zobrist and current third…
