lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:05:35 +0000

The Rays win streak stops at 6 after a 3-1 loss to the Guardians. The Rays continued to struggle against the Guardians pitching. The Rays only mustered 1 run on 3 hits and only scored 2 runs in their last 18 innings. Their lone run game in the 7th inning off of an error by the Guardians defense. The Guardians took the lead on a sac fly in the 3rd inning that made it 1-0. They extended their lead in the 5th inning on a 2 RBI single that made it 3-0. The Rays had a chance to tie the game in the 8th inning. They had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs but Jonathan Aranda could not come through. The Rays still boast one of the best records in the American league, and will look to get back on track Friday night against the Giants.

Tampa Bay Rays Winning STREAK OVER But Veteran Pitchers Deliver Series WIN vs. Cleveland Guardians

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:37:47 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays dominate the Cleveland Guardians with veteran pitching leading the charge—Steven Matz and Nick Martinez silence critics, while key bullpen decisions shape the series outcome. Can the Rays’ rotation carry them through the season, or does the offense need to step up after securing a series win with only five runs scored?

Host Ulises Sambrano breaks down the highs and lows of the Rays’ road trip, including the impact of lost players like Pete Fairbanks and Brandon Lowe in a hypothetical roster “what if” scenario. The spotlight turns to Cedric Mullins’ struggles at the plate—is his leash getting shorter, or will Tampa Bay show patience? With sharp analysis of Chandler Simpson’s speed, Aranda’s clutch RBIs, and the evolving outfield picture, this episode is a must-listen for fans tracking every Rays roster move and upcoming Giants series.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:37:31 +0000

Expect a showdown between the Rays’ newfound contact-heavy offense and the Guardians’ league-leading strikeout pitching, highlighted by ace Gavin Williams.

Shane McClanahan LEADS Tampa Bay Rays’ SWEEP Against Minnesota Twins With Elite Pitch Mix

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:42:08 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays sweep the Minnesota Twins as Shane McClanahan showcases a pitching evolution—tossing five scoreless innings and leaning on his devastating changeup and slider, not just his fastball. Ulises and Kevin break down McClanahan’s rotation role, his pitch mix adjustments, and the Rays’ growing reliance on their pitching depth in the face of injuries. Can McClanahan sustain this trajectory, and what does it mean for the Rays’ postseason hopes?

Junior Caminero makes noise with a 10-game hitting streak and mammoth home runs, igniting debate about optimal lineup construction and the importance of lineup protection. The discussion shifts to Rays’ tribute video overload—does every former player deserve one, or is the team diluting its own traditions? Key topics include Yandy Díaz’s lineup impact, the merits of honoring players like Taj Bradley, and what truly makes a Rays tenure worthy of celebration.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays KEEP ON ROLLING in a win vs the Minnesota Twins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 20:39:47 +0000

The Rays sweep the Twins, winning the last game of the series 4-2. The Rays never trailed the entire series. The Rays would get all of their runs in the 3rd inning. It started with Jonathan Aranda staying hot and knocking a 2 RBI single to give the Rays a 2-0 lead. Yandy Diaz would come up right after him and blast a 2 run opposite field home run to give the Rays the lead. The Rays pitching staff held the Twins in check. It started with Griffin Jax who opened the game for the Rays. He went 2.1 IP striking out 2 and not giving up any runs. Jesse Sholtens came in after him and worked the bulk innings. He would go 4.1 IP only giving up 2 runs which came on a 2 run home run in the 7th inning that made the game 4-2. Cole Sulser worked 1.1 IP not giving up any runs before handing it to Rays closer Bryan Baker. Baker pitched a clean 9th inning picking up the save. The Rays have now won in a row and will look to continue that tomorrow night in Cleveland.

Tampa Bay Rays STUNNED By Cincinnati Reds, STRUGGLES Continue Against NL Central Squads

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:23:25 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays struggle against NL Central foes reach a breaking point—can Nick Martinez turn things around?

Kevin Weiss highlights the Rays’ lopsided record versus NL Central teams, dissecting blowout losses to the Cincinnati Reds as clunker vibes threaten to derail their early momentum. Questions swirl around lineup construction, cold-weather challenges, and key injuries to Ryan Pepiot and Taylor Walls, while underperforming defense and bullpen woes expose Tampa Bay’s vulnerabilities.

Spotlighting manager Kevin Cash’s tenure and his Terry Francona-inspired approach, Kevin explores how Cash balances analytics, leadership, and a fresh clubhouse culture despite a tight budget. With Martinez boasting a 2.45 ERA and poised to rescue a depleted pitching staff, the episode examines if his underrated arsenal can snap Tampa Bay’s NL Central curse. Will the Rays reclaim their dominance, or do these struggles foreshadow deeper issues as they eye the postseason race?

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays get BLOWN OUT by the Cincinnati Reds

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:05:29 +0000

The Rays drop their 3rd game in a row, losing to the Reds 12-6. It was a disaster from the start for the Rays. Rays starter Steven Matz gave up 3 home runs in the first 2 innings and it was 4-0 right away. It did not get better after that. The Reds added their 4th home run of the game in the 5th inning to make it 5-0. Then added 4 runs in the 6th inning to make it 9-0 and the rout was on from there. The Rays would get on the board with a Jonathan Aranda 2 run home run in the 6th which made it 9-2. The Reds would add even more runs in the 7th to make it 11-2. The Rays would pitch infielder Ben Williamson in the 9th. That would result in the Reds adding another run to make the final 12-2. The Rays added 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th. But it was way to late at that point to mount a comeback. The Rays will have a quick turnaround as they play an afternoon game tomorrow as they will look to salvage the last game of the series.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays suffer a FRUSTRATING loss to the Cincinnati Reds

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 01:33:57 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays drop the series opener to the Reds 6-1. The Reds immediately got in front of the Rays 2-0 in the top of the first on a 2 run home run. The Rays answered right back in the bottom of the first scoring a run and having the bases loaded with 0 outs. That would be the only run the Rays would score as they would strand the bases loaded. After that the Reds continued to put on the pressure. They added a run in the 3rd to make it 3-1. Then they broke it open in the 6th with a 2 run double to make it 5-1. They added on an insurance run in the 7th to put the game even more out of reach. The Rays have now lost 3 out of their last 4 after winning 6 in a row. They will look to bounce back tomorrow night vs the Reds.

Tampa Bay Rays DERAILED by Pittsburgh Pirates As Bullpen WOES Continue

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 23:02:19 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays stumble against the Pittsburgh Pirates as bullpen woes threaten early season momentum. Can Shane McClanahan’s progress and Junior Caminero’s surge at the plate right the ship before the Rays face the surging Cincinnati Reds.

Kevin Weiss breaks down the Rays’ key concerns after dropping two of three to the Pirates, spotlighting Griffin Jax’s struggles, the importance of bullpen depth, and Brandon Lowe's red-hot start in Pittsburgh.

The discussion covers McClanahan’s encouraging velocity, the lineup’s new look with Caminero batting second, and questions surrounding trade returns from the Brandon Lowe deal.

Upcoming matchups against the NL Central-leading Reds and the emergence of Sal Stewart add intrigue as the Rays seek to rebound at Tropicana Field. Will Tampa Bay’s pitching hold up, or do changes loom on the horizon?

The Tampa Bay Rays lose the last game of the series 6-3 to the Pirates. The Rays got off to a shaky start. The Pirates platted a run in the first to take a 1-0 lead.

The Rays win an incredible game 8-7 against the Pirates. This will go down as one of the craziest games of the year. The Rays got down 4-0 after 4 innings. Then there was a 2 and a half hour rain delay. Right after the rain delay the Rays would take the lead game in the 5th inning with a 5 run 5th highlighted by a Jonny Deluca 2 run double. The score would remain 5-4 until the 8th inning. The Pirates would tie the game with a 2 out single to make it 5-5. Then the madness would start in extras. No one would score in the 10th inning. In the 11th Taylor Walls scored on an error all the way from 1st. The Pirates would tie the game in the bottom of the 11th. After no score in the 12th inning Cedric Mullins blasted a 2 run homer to take a 8-6 lead. But the Pirates would not go quietly. They would score to make it 8-7 and got the tying run to 3rd with 2 outs. But Yoendrys Gomez would get out of it to secure the win. The Rays will look to take the series tomorrow afternoon in Pittsburgh.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays win streak gets SNAPPED by the Pittsburgh Pirates

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 01:59:52 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays win streak stops at 6 after a 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Rays could never get it going in this one. After the Pirates took the lead in the 2nd inning to make it 1-0 it would be a pitchers duel until the 6th inning. In that inning Junior Caminero ripped a RBI single to tie the game. That Caminero hit would be just 1 of 3 Rays hits on the night. The Pirates big swing came off the bat of O'neil Cruz he destroyed a 2 run home run off Griffin Jax to give the Pirates a 3-1 lead in the 6th. The Pirates would add 2 more in the 9th to put the game away. The Rays offense could not gain any momentum after that as the Rays could not mount a comeback. Nick Martinez started for the Rays and battled. He went 5.1 giving up 8 hits and 3 walks but pitched around the damage to only give up 2 earned runs. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night against the Pirates.

Tampa Bay Rays SWEEP Chicago White Sox, Have AL's BEST RECORD Early in the Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:41:34 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays ride back-to-back sweeps to seize first place in the AL East, but is this hot streak sustainable? With a balanced attack and emerging stars like Junior Caminero and Chandler Simpson, the Rays showcase a mix of small-ball ingenuity and sudden power surges, leaving fans wondering if a playoff run is within reach.

Kevin Weiss highlights Shane McClanahan’s first win in over 1,000 days, the fluctuating run differential, and key offensive moments from Yandy Díaz, Jake Fraley, and Johnny DeLuca. The analysis covers strategic lineup shifts, bullpen concerns, and Caminero’s game-changing at-bats. As Tampa Bay heads into a pivotal series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, all eyes are on how the Rays adapt—and whether this winning formula can hold over the grind of a 162-game season.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 01:52:52 +0000

The Rays would then load the bases with 2 outs and Hunter Fedducia drew a clutch walk to tie the game. Steven Matz started for the Rays and was good again. He went 5.1 striking out 4 only giving up 2 runs. The Rays will head to Pittsburgh next as they try to extend their win streak to 7.

MAILBAG: Tampa Bay Rays Forced Into UNEXPECTED Pitching Moves After Ryan Pepiot's Hip Injury SETBACK

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 02:59:09 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays scramble as Ryan Pepiot’s injury setback leaves the pitching rotation in flux, putting extra strain on the bullpen and forcing unexpected roles for arms like Jesse Scholtens.

Is the Rays’ early-season depth already at a breaking point, or can emerging contributors keep the team competitive until key starters return? Host Kevin Weiss breaks down the implications for Drew Rasmussen, Stephen Matz, Nick Martinez, and Shane McClanahan, while questioning whether the current staff can go deep enough into games to support a shaky bullpen.

Chandler Simpson’s electrifying bat-to-ball skills spark debate: could he be the Rays’ next batting champion, following in Yandy Díaz’s footsteps? Kevin Weiss weighs Simpson’s upside against MLB standout Luis Arráez and spotlights the offensive potential of Jonathan Aranda. The episode also tackles the Rays’ all-country music concert series at Tropicana Field—will the new approach boost fan turnout, or is a more diverse lineup needed to energize St. Petersburg crowds?

Tampa Bay Rays CRUMBLE Against Chicago Cubs, Seek ADJUSTMENTS Against New York Yankees

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 03:28:43 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays shake up their lineup as they prepare to exploit the New York Yankees’ offensive slump. Will Chandler Simpson’s leadoff spark and Junior Caminero’s elevated role finally ignite the Rays’ scoring power?

Kevin Weiss breaks down the Rays’ tough series against the Chicago Cubs, spotlighting Jesse Scholtens’ standout relief performance and the persistent bullpen challenges.

Key discussion points include the Rays’ overdue embrace of an ideal batting order, the impact of Taylor Walls’ defensive return, and critical errors that haunted their recent games.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays HANG ON for a BIG win vs the New York Yankees

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 02:13:48 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays take down the New York Yankees 5-3. It was a disastrous start for the Rays. A first inning error led to the first run for the Yankees, then a misplayed ball in the outfield gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead. Rays pitching would then keep Yankee hitters hitless until the 8th inning. Yandy Diaz wasted no time tying the game in the bottom of the first. He belted a 2 run homer to tie the game. The Rays would then take the lead in the 2nd inning on a RBI fielders choice by Chandler Simpson. Simpson then gave the Rays some insurance in the 6th inning with a RBI single. Jonathan Aranda then got another run home to make it 5-2. A solo homer from the Yankees in the 8th would make it 5-3. But Bryan Baker would hold it down in the 9th to pick up the win. The Rays will look to take the series tomorrow night vs the Yankees.

Tampa Bay Rays Must Find an ANSWER to Their DEFENSIVE WOES

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays' defensive struggles threaten their competitiveness in the AL East. With Junior Caminero leading MLB in errors and Carson Williams faltering at shortstop, the team's pitching and defense—long their trademark—have become major concerns. Is sloppy fielding causing big innings and unexpected losses?

Host Ulises Sambrano examines the causes behind the Rays’ error-heavy start, including potential fallout from Caminero’s World Baseball Classic participation and roster uncertainty. The episode sparks debate about whether franchise icon Evan Longoria could be brought in as a mentor to help shore up Junior’s game, referencing the successful Kevin Kiermaier-Chandler Simpson connection. Key topics include bullpen instability, outfield miscues, and the catching corps’ inability to throw out baserunners. Can defensive improvement ignite the Rays’ playoff hopes, or will mounting mental pressure create further setbacks?

MAILBAG: First Base Experiment for Junior Caminero SHOULD NOT BE Tampa Bay Rays Answer

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Apr 2026 02:45:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays fans demand answers: Why did the Junior Caminero first base experiment flop, and is it officially over? Ulises Sambrano breaks down the defensive struggles, debates Caminero’s ideal position, and explains why Jonathan Aranda remains the best bet at first base. The show raises the burning question—should the Rays ever risk moving their young star off third again?

Bullpen chaos mounts with Griffin Jax faltering and injuries to key arms like Useta and Garrett Clevenger. Is a trade for a Pete Fairbanks-type closer coming, or will Brian Baker and Hunter Bigge rise from within? Plus, the episode takes a nostalgic turn: What killed the knuckleball in today’s MLB? The host unpacks baseball’s shift toward velocity and how new rules favor speed over finesse. Don’t miss this insightful look at the Tampa Bay Rays’ roster decisions and evolving strategies.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays FALL FLAT vs the Chicago Cubs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Apr 2026 02:43:30 +0000

The Rays lose the last game of the series to the Cubs 6-2. Things started slow for the Rays and did not get any better. The Rays allowed a lead off home run to start the game and that would be a sign of things to come. The Rays would get the run back in the 3rd inning on a sac fly by Jonathan Aranda. But the 5th inning for the Rays would be a disaster. 2 walks 3 errors and 5 runs later it was 6-1. The Rays would add a run in the 8th inning on a Jake Fraley RBI single. But it was all to little to late. The Rays will get an off day tomorrow and then gear up for a big weekend series against the Yankees.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays get DOMINATED by the Chicago Cubs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 01:57:30 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays dropped Game 2 of the series to the Chicago Cubs, 9-2, in a game that got away from them early.

Chicago jumped on the Rays in the second inning with a pair of RBI hits to take a 2-0 lead, then added two more in the third. By the sixth, a home run from Pete Crow-Armstrong pushed the Cubs’ lead to 7-0 and put the game out of reach.

The Rays showed a bit of life in the eighth when Jonathan Aranda drove in a run with an RBI double, but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback.

Making the spot start for Drew Rasmussen, Mason Englert struggled, allowing seven hits and three runs over 3.1 innings of work.

Tampa Bay will look to bounce back and take the series in the finale tomorrow night.

But Jonathan Aranda would deliver the dagger with a huge 2 run homer to make it 6-3. The Cubs would add a run in the 9th but it would be to little to late. Shane McClanahan started for the Rays and was up and down. He went 4 IP striking out 5 but allowed 4 walks and 2 runs.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays put up an EMBARRASSING performance vs the Minnesota Twins

The Tampa Bay Rays commit another 3 errors in a 10-4 to the Minnesota Twins. The Rays once again got off to a hot start. Nick Fortes drilled a 2 RBI double in the first inning to make it 2-0. Ben Williamson added a RBI double of his own in the 4th to make it 3-0. Then it all went downhill for the Rays. The Twins tied it in the bottom of the 4th thanks to an error by Carson Williams which could have led to the inning ending double play. The Rays would then fall apart in the 7th inning. In that inning the Rays would surrender: Hit by pitch, 2 errors, 2 bases loaded walks, and a grand slam. All of those would make the game 10-3. The Rays would add a run in the 8th but it would be to little to late. Joe Boyle was one of the few bright spots for the Rays. He went 5.1 IP striking out 9 and only allowing 2 ER. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night vs the Twins.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays CAN'T GET OUT OF THEIR OWN WAY vs the Milwaukee Brewers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 2 Apr 2026 00:34:00 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays dropped the last game of the series to the Milwaukee Brewers 8-2. It was another fast start for the Rays. In the 3rd inning Yandy Diaz blasted a 2 run home run to give the Rays a 2-0 lead. The Brewers would add a 2 run homer of their own in the bottom of the 3rd to tie the game. Things stayed tied until the 8th inning because of fantastic pitching by Rays starter Drew Rasmussen. He went 5 IP only allowing 2 hits and striking out 8. Things fell apart in the 8th inning. Mistakes fueled a 6 run Brewers inning which put the game out of reach. The Rays will look to bounce back on Friday afternoon against the Twins.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays mistakes DOOM them in a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 1 Apr 2026 02:43:33 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays drop the second game of the series to the Brewers 6-2. The Rays bats got off to a hot start. For the 2nd straight game the Rays got a solo homer in the first inning. This time it was off the Bat of Jonathan Aranda to make it 1-0. The Rays got another solo home run from Nick Fortes in the 5th inning to make it 2-0. But after that things started to go wrong for the Rays. With the Bases loaded in the bottom of the 5th inning the Brewers hit a 2 RBI single to tie the game. A costly error in the same inning gave the Brewers a 3-2 lead and they would not look back. The Brewers would add 2 runs in the 6th inning, and one in the 8th to make it 6-2 and that would put the game out of reach. Shane McClanahan started for the Rays for the first time in over two years and was solid. He finished with a line of 4.2 IP 2 hits 2 ER and 4 K. The Rays will look to win the series against the Brewers tomorrow afternoon.

Tampa Bay Rays Offense THRIVES in Losing Weekend against the St. Louis Cardinals.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays’ potent offense outshines bullpen struggles, but is lineup construction hurting their winning chances? Should Joe Boyle stay in the majors after his lights-out performance against the St. Louis Cardinals?

Ulises Sambrano critiques Kevin Cash and Eric Neander’s lineup strategy, arguing that All-Star hitters Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda, and Junior Caminero must bat together to maximize run production. The conversation spotlights Griffin Jax’s shaky high-leverage outings and questions his role in the bullpen as the team’s ERA climbs.

Sambrano weighs the merits of keeping Joe Boyle as Shane McClanahan’s piggyback option, especially as Boyle dominates MLB opponents. Key topics include Chandler Simpson’s impact in lineup positioning, the Rays’ approach to developing young talent, and whether trade moves are needed to shore up pitching. Will the Rays optimize their roster before tougher matchups, or let current deficiencies linger?

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays OFFENSE IGNITES for a big win vs the St. Louis Cardinals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 21:40:01 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays pick up their first win of the year, beating the Cardinals 11-7. The Rays offense was on fire early and often. It started with a 3 run 2nd inning capped off by a RBI single by Yandy Diaz. The Rays would add another 3 runs in the 4th inning with 3 RBI doubles by Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda, and Cedric Mullins. The Cardinals would make it interesting with a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 4th to make it 6-4. The Rays bullpen would keep that the score until the 3rd inning. In the top of the 8th inning the Rays had a pair of RBI singles to make it 8-4. Then Cedric Mullins would add a sac fly to make it 9-4. The Cardinals would add 3 runs in the 8th inning to make it 9-7. But a bunt single by Carson Williams and a RBI infield single by Yandy Diaz made it 11-7 and that would be enough to give the Rays the win. The Rays will continue on their road trip as they head to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers tomorrow night.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 22:42:09 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays squander a commanding lead on Opening Day as the bullpen self-destructs, overshadowing Drew Rasmussen’s stellar start. Can the Rays afford more nights like this in the brutal AL East?

The hosts praise an energized Rays offense—highlighting big performances from Junior Caminero, Jonathan Aranda, and Nick Fortes—but question Kevin Cash’s lineup construction after questionable choices let opportunities slip. Key topics include Chandler Simpson’s role, strategic protection for sluggers, and what must change for Tampa Bay to rebound against the St. Louis Cardinals.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays BLOW A HUGE LEAD to lose on Opening Day to the St. Louis Cardinals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 23:54:43 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays blow a 6 run lead to lose to the St. Louis Cardinals 9-7. The Rays used a 6 run 6th inning to take a commanding 7-1 lead in the game. But the bottom of the 6th was a nightmare for the Rays. It started with Ian Seymour allowing all 5 of the batters he faced to reach base and eventually score. But the go ahead hit game off of a 2 strike fastball by Griffin Jax to Alec Burleson that was deposited 432 feet into the right field seats to give the Cardinals the lead. Jonathan Aranda hit a solo home run that accounted for the Rays other run. The Rays start the season off on a rocky note, but will look to bounce back Saturday afternoon vs the Cardinals.

Ryan Pepiot INJURY Forces Joe Boyle To Tampa Bay Rays Starting Rotation For Opening Day

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:14:58 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays face opening day turmoil as Ryan Pepiot hits the IL with right hip inflammation, shaking up the starting rotation.

With Joe Boyle bumped to the No. 2 spot and Nick Martinez pushed back due to a “hamstring issue,” the pressure mounts on Boyle to deliver quality innings amid a bullpen built for flexibility. Can the Rays’ pitching depth hold up as injuries pile up?

Ulises and Kevin debate the impact of Pepiot’s absence, the conspiracy behind Martinez’s role shift, and how social media criticism may play into player mentality.

The spotlight turns to Carson Williams, now thrust into the starting shortstop position after Taylor Walls’ injury—will Williams sink or swim in his big-league debut? Plus, comprehensive 2026 season predictions, Rays MVP contenders, and trade speculation around Yandy Díaz set the stage for a year focused on growth over standings.

Why Ryan Vilade is a Tampa Bay Rays’ MUST-WATCH Player as Opening Day NEARS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:48:25 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays open the season with Ryan Vilade earning a spot as a versatile Swiss Army knife—can his right-handed bat and defensive flexibility ignite the lineup in cold-weather games?

Amid tough AL East competition, the Rays look to capitalize early against under-.500 teams like the St. Louis Cardinals, Minnesota Twins, and Chicago White Sox, hoping a hot start in frigid conditions sets the tone for playoff ambitions.

Ulises Sambrano breaks down Vilade’s journey, Kevin Cash’s strategic deployment of right-handed hitters, and the importance of the Rays’ revamped Tropicana Field roof. From infielders testing new turf to outfielders adjusting to improved lighting, the team prepares to maximize home-field comfort.

Key discussion points include the critical value of April wins, challenges facing the Rays as they navigate a difficult early road schedule, and roster moves that may shape the 2026 MLB landscape. Will the Rays stay above .500 and stay relevant by June?

Tampa Bay Rays Trust Richie Palacios to SHINE with Gavin Lux Injured for Opening Day

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:29:28 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays shake up their Opening Day roster as Richie Palacios replaces Gavin Lux, who lands on the IL with a shoulder injury. Can Palacios seize this opportunity and secure a permanent spot, or could his hot start push Lux out for good? Concern swirls over Nick Martinez’s spring training struggles, but hosts Kevin and Ulises argue fans shouldn’t panic, drawing parallels to past Rays pitchers with rough preseason stats.

Junior Caminero emerges as a potential AL MVP finalist, sparking excitement about his improvement and drive to emulate Manny Machado’s defensive prowess. The episode examines key Rays storylines: depth issues in the middle infield, Martinez’s $13 million contract, and Caminero’s impact both offensively and as the next franchise cornerstone.

With prompts for fan engagement and buzzing predictions, this fresh analysis explores the Rays’ challenges and opportunities heading into the 2026 MLB season.

Tampa Bay Rays' Shane McClanahan MINDSET SHIFT Evolving to be More Tactical.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Diving into the evolving mindset of Shane McClanahan, whose maturity and new tactical approach on the mound are expected to make him even more dangerous and effective for the Tampa Bay Rays.

The show discusses McClanahan’s post-surgery health, his pacing during spring starts, quotes from both McClanahan and manager Kevin Cash highlighting his shift from max-effort pitching to a more strategic style reminiscent of Justin Verlander’s late-game velocity surges. The conversation also touches on the potential implications for McClanahan’s contract status with the Rays, given his upcoming free agency and the franchise’s investment in his rehab.

Ulises breaks down Adam Berry’s predicted lineups against left- and right-handed pitching: the pros and cons of loading up with left-handed hitters against righties, concerns about protection for Junior Caminero in the lineup, and the importance of maximizing Chandler Simpson’s elite speed and pairing him with contact hitters like Yandy Diaz.

The episode addresses the limited depth and power in the lineup beyond the top three, especially when platoon scenarios are considered. Injury updates bring positive news, as Chandler Simpson, Cedric Mullins, and Gavin Lux return to spring action, while Yandy Diaz and Richie Palacios remain sidelined with minor issues.

Tampa Bay Rays shake up their 2026 roster with a three-team trade, adding elite defender Ben Williamson while letting go of Colton Ledbetter and a competitive balance draft pick.

MLB Network’s Top 100 shake-up leaves Tampa Bay Rays fans asking: who’s next? With only Junior Caminero (#39) and Yandy Diaz (#71) representing the Rays, Kevin and Ulises debate big market bias and ponder which emerging stars—like Drew Rasmussen, Jonathan Aranda, or Chandler Simpson—could crash the rankings next season.

Spotlighting Caminero’s meteoric rise and looming contract drama, they challenge listeners to consider how shifting accolades mean bigger paydays, while discussing the ripple effects of roster changes on Tampa Bay’s future prospects.

Turning to Cooperstown controversy, the hosts react to Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones clinching Hall of Fame honors while Bobby Abreu and other overlooked candidates remain on the outside.

Should character clauses apply equally to PED users and Astro scandal figures? Spicing up the show with trivia on elite relievers’ WAR and name-that-player segments, Kevin and Ulises keep Rays fans engaged with sharp analysis and insider banter.

Key figures like Jason Adam, Harold Ramirez, and Ryan Thompson illustrate the process’s emotional toll and the Rays’ reputation for negotiating hard.

The hosts also evaluate the Rays’ current payroll crunch, the likelihood of a "closer by committee" featuring Uceta, Garrett Cleavinger, and Griffin Jax, and speculate on possible trade deadline chips like Yandy Díaz. With only $10–15 million left for acquisitions and veterans like Cedric Mullins or Steven Matz on the radar, can the Rays find the leadership and value they need, or will youth prevail in St. Petersburg?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 Jan 2026 05:05:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays outfield competition heats up—can Josh Lowe reclaim his spot before arbitration costs and a crowded depth chart force the Rays’ hand?

CROSSOVER: Tampa Bay Rays DOUBLE DOWN On Prospects By Trading Shane Baz to the Baltimore Orioles

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 05:05:00 +0000

LOCKED ON CROSSOVER EPISODE! Baltimore Orioles shake up the AL East with a blockbuster trade for Shane Baz, acquiring the former top pitching prospect from the Tampa Bay Rays.

Can Baz finally unlock his ace potential in Baltimore and anchor a rotation desperate for stability after a disappointing 2025 season? The deal, which sends Slater De Brun, Caden Bodine, Michael Forret, Austin Overn, and a valuable draft pick to the Rays, signals a bold win-now mentality from Mike Elias and the Orioles’ front office.

This crossover episode between Locked On Orioles and Locked On Rays breaks down Baz’s upside, home/road splits, and the curveball that could make him a future No. 1—if he stays healthy.

The conversation covers the promise and risks carried by the Orioles’ outgoing prospects, Tampa Bay’s evolving rebuilding plans, and the AL East arms race with the Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays. Is this the move that returns Baltimore to October glory, or did Tampa Bay cash in at just the right time?

Tampa Bay Rays shake up their future by trading away Brandon Lowe, Jake Mangum, and Mason Montgomery, sacrificing immediate strength for long-term potential. The front office’s bold decision raises pressing questions: can the Rays bounce back in the AL East after losing key contributors, and will prospects like Jacob Melton and Anderson Brito deliver enough upside to justify the move?

Hot topics include Yandy Díaz’s future, potential targets like Brendan Donovan and Ketel Marte, and whether the Rays can build a competitive core amid a division full of rising rivals.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 04:55:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays eye Arizona Diamondbacks’ Gabriel Moreno as a franchise-altering catcher. Could a blockbuster trade for Moreno finally solve the Rays’ ongoing struggles behind the plate and reshape their future?

Ulises and Kevin break down why Moreno—rather than Ketel Marte—is the real difference-maker, spotlighting his consistent offense, defensive upside, and four years of team control. They debate which prospects, like Ryan Pepiot or Shane Baz, the Rays should consider moving and explore how Arizona’s depth makes a trade possible.

The discussion intensifies as the hosts tackle the latest Wander Franco legal developments and how his unresolved contract could impact Tampa Bay’s payroll, player extensions like Junior Caminero, and long-term planning. Rounding out the show, Ulises and Kevin put their MLB trivia skills to the test, ranking the all-time leaders in 40-homer seasons and guessing Adam Lind’s career WAR.

Tampa Bay Rays secure veteran lefty Steven Matz on a two-year, $15 million deal, boosting their rotation with command, experience, and much-needed leadership.

Tampa Rays Fans SHOULD IGNORE Brandon Lowe Trade Rumors

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays face a crossroads as Brandon Lowe trade rumors intensify. Will shifting power bats disrupt the lineup’s chemistry and threaten their postseason hopes?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 02:18:36 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays face a pivotal offseason as Erik Neander navigates the MLB Winter Meetings with payroll constraints and pressing roster needs. Can the addition of Cedric Mullins and Jake Fraley power the outfield towards a true turnaround, or will starting rotation depth, catching help, and middle infield upgrades remain elusive? The challenge intensifies as AL East rivals, including the Orioles and Yankees, load up for 2026.

Ulises and Kevin break down recent trades, analyze the impact of Harry Ford’s move to the Nationals, and question which moves the Rays might pursue next. Rumors swirl about St. Petersburg’s Al Lang Stadium emerging as a new spring training venue, forging tighter Bay Area baseball ties. The hosts debate whether trades, free agent gambles, and creative front office tactics can push the Rays past 77 wins and back to AL East contention.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 9 Dec 2025 00:16:24 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays shake up their outfield with the Cedric Mullins signing, raising questions about Opening Day roster battles and future moves. Will Mullins reestablish his value and spark the lineup, or become a trade chip at the deadline? Kevin and Ulises debate the impact of Mullins’ one-year, $7 million contract with its rarely-exercised mutual option, dissecting how this deal mirrors past stopgap additions like Avisail Garcia and Denard Span. They explore why Mullins’ veteran leadership and speed are crucial for the Rays’ developing young outfielders.

Roster implications heat up as Jake Mangum faces tough odds to secure a roster spot amidst competition from Josh Lowe, Jake Fraley, and top prospect Chandler Simpson. Insights on Eric Neander’s reasoning, a front office shake-up, and the possible influence of new advisor Brandon Hyde deepen the discussion. Will the Rays’ outfield gambit pay off and fuel a return to AL East dominance?

Tampa Bay Rays COURT Jake Fraley After DFA Amidst INJURY Concerns

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 12:54:15 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays seek to revitalize their outfield, targeting Jake Fraley on a budget deal after his DFA. Will Fraley’s veteran leadership and platoon potential offset his injury history and average production? Ulises and Kevin debate whether Fraley is the answer or just another injury-prone addition to a roster plagued by uncertainty. The conversation raises pressing questions about the Rays’ strategy: are they prioritizing defense and speed, or is a power upgrade still in play?

Analysis spotlights the Rays’ uneventful tender deadline, with Cole Sulser signed to a split contract and the arbitration class costing less than $30 million. The hosts break down the crowded outfield—featuring Josh Lowe, Richie Palacios, Johnny DeLuca, Chandler Simpson, Jake Mangum, and Ryan Vilade—and speculate on possible trades or positional cuts. Is the Rays’ front office crafting a winning formula, or will offensive woes persist at Tropicana Field?

Tampa Bay Rays shake up offseason strategy by declining Pete Fairbanks’ $11 million option, signaling a shift in focus to fortifying the starting rotation.

Blake Snell & Tyler Glasnow IGNITE IRE Among Tampa Bay Rays Fans With Post- Championship Comments

Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow celebrate their Dodgers World Series championship with controversial comments about their 2020 loss with Tampa Bay. Are former Rays players catching unfair criticism from social media?

Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano defend Snell and Glasnow's post-championship remarks, breaking down why both players were traded rather than choosing to leave. The discussion shifts to Yoshinobu Yamamoto's historic back-to-back World Series starts and identifies Ryan Pepiot as the only Rays pitcher capable of similar durability. Key topics include Taylor Walls' Gold Glove snub, his potential as an unlikely playoff hero similar to Miguel Rojas, and the Rays' ongoing payroll limitations that prevent retaining star talent.

Can Taylor Walls become Tampa Bay's next clutch performer when the stakes are highest? Will new ownership finally allow the Rays to keep their homegrown stars?

The THREE Most TERRIFYING Possibilities Haunting the Tampa Bay Rays Heading Into 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 1 Nov 2025 03:55:00 +0000

Tampa Bay Rays fans face three nightmare scenarios that could derail the 2026 season before it even begins. Trading veterans Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe, or Pete Fairbanks would strip Junior Caminero of crucial lineup protection and signal an unwanted rebuild under new ownership.

Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano break down why losing these key players would devastate offensive production, with Diaz's batting title credentials and Lowe's 30+ home run power essential for preventing opponents from walking Caminero like Barry Bonds. The discussion covers the brutal nine-game cold-weather road trip opening the season in St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Minnesota that could bury the young roster in an 0-9 hole. The hosts also examine how the unresolved Wander Franco contract situation—$15,000,454 owed in 2026 for zero production—continues blocking potential extensions and forcing difficult roster decisions.

Can the Rays avoid these scary scenarios and compete in the AL East, or will 2026 become a lost season?

Tampa Bay Rays fans face a harsh reality: ChatGPT predicts no World Series championship for the next 50 years, while Kyle Tucker's free agency remains a distant dream. Can the franchise finally break through once their new stadium opens?

Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano tackle three critical questions about the Rays' future, examining the astronomical odds of signing Tucker to a short-term deal, contingency plans if Tropicana Field isn't ready for 2026, and whether increased revenue from the new ballpark will finally allow Tampa Bay to retain stars like Brandon Lowe and Pete Fairbanks instead of trading them for salary relief. The hosts debate MLB's stadium standards, Warren Hypes' impressive 72-hour transformation of Steinbrenner Field, and why blind loyalty to front office decisions undermines critical thinking about roster moves involving Randy Arozarena, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow.

Discover why the Rays' championship window depends on more than just brilliant management and player development.

The Tampa Bay Rays lose to the Toronto Blue Jays again, this time 5-1. The Rays offense could not get the big hit in this one. Joe Boyle started for the Rays and struggled at times. He went 5 IP but he walked 3 batters and gave up 4 runs. Those runs started to come across in the 2nd inning. Where a Blue Jays RBI double capped off a 3 run inning to make it 3-0. After the Blue Jays added another run in the 5th, the Rays would finally get on the board. Jonathan Aranda hit a solo home run in the 6th inning to make it 4-1. He has now homered in both of his games since coming off the IL. That would be the only run the Rays could get as the offense could not threaten anymore. The Rays wrap up their season tomorrow afternoon vs the Blue Jays.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 03:00:48 +0000

he Tampa Bay Rays fall to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5. The Blue Jays jumped on the Rays early. Scoring 1 run in the 1st then adding another 3 in the 2nd chasing starter Ryan Pepiot out of the game after just 1.2 IP. Brandon Lowe would bring the Rays closer with a 3 run home run in the 3rd inning to make it 4-3. The Blue Jays would extend the lead in the 4th and 5th innings with solo homers to make it 6-3. Tristian Grey would hit a RBI single to make it 6-4 in the 8th. Brandon Lowe would hit a RBI single in the 9th to make it 6-5. But the Rays would not cash in with runners on base much more than that. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night.

The Tampa Bay Rays can't get past the Chicago Cubs, losing 6-4. It started great for the Rays. Christopher Morel hit a 3 run homer in the 1st inning to give the Rays a 3-0 lead. But the Cubs would jump on starter Shane Baz in a hurry. By the 3rd inning the Rays trailed 5-3 and Baz was only able to go 2.1 IP giving up 5 runs. The Rays were able to get it to 5-4 after a Nick Fortes RBI single. But that was as close as the Rays would get. The Cubs would add a run in the bottom of the 4th and that would be the last score of the game. Since winning 7 games in a row, the Rays have lost 6 of their last 8 game and will look to get back on track tomorrow afternoon.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays get SHUTDOWN by the Cleveland Guardians

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 01:10:13 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays offense takes a step back in a 3-0 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The Rays offense had no answers for the Guardians pitching staff. The Rays only mustered 4 hits and only got 1 man into scoring position the entire game. The Guardians did not fair much better. They only managed 3 hits but capitalized off Shane Baz's mistakes in the 1st inning. 2 walks and a few softly hit singles gave the Guardians 3 runs in the inning. The would not record a baserunner for the final 7 innings of the game. Shane Baz started for the Rays and after that rocky first inning he was very good. He retired the last 16 batters he faced and struck out 7. But the first inning proved to be the difference in the game as the Rays bats could not get anything going. The Rays will try to win the series tomorrow afternoon.

RAYS POSTCAST: Tampa Bay Rays MISTAKES COST THEM BIG TIME vs the St. Louis Cardinals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 02:52:15 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays could not get out of their own way tonight, losing to the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4. This was one of the sloppiest games of the season for the Rays. The Rays finished with 3 errors, a passed ball that led to a run, and a base running mistake that took away a run. The Rays offense provided pressure all night. But Joe Boyle the Rays starter could only go 4 IP giving up 9 hits and 6 runs 4 earned. Yandy Diaz would hit a 2 run homer in the 3rd inning to make it 5-3. But more mistakes led to the Cardinals getting a run in the 4th to make it 6-3. The Rays offense had numerous chances to get the game closer but could never get the big hit. When the Rays did get a big hit to make the game 6-4 the run was called off because of a base running error. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night.

It started with Bob Seymour hitting his first MLB home run in the 8th inning to make it 3-1. Then in the bottom of the 9th down to their final strike, Hunter Feduccia hit a 2 RBI double to tie the game at 3. But the Yankees would hit 2 more home runs in extra innings to make the game 6-3. Bob Seymour would hit a RBI single in the bottom of the 10th to make it 6-4. But that is as close as the Rays would get. Drew Rasmussen started for the Rays and was good once again. He went 6 IP only giving up 2 runs and striking out 6. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night vs the St. Louis Cardinals.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays RUN OUT OF GAS vs the San Francisco Giants

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 22:48:26 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays can't complete the sweep, losing to the San Francisco Giants 7-1. This was another pitchers duel for the first 6 and a half innings of this game. The Rays offense could not get anything off the Giants ace Logan Webb. Ryan Pepiot was just as dominant until there was 2 outs in the 5th inning. Everything unraveled for Pepiot after that. He allowed 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th to make the game 4-0. Pepiot was fantastic until that moment. He struck out 8 Giant hitters and only allowed 2 hits until the Giants had 4 straight hits to take the lead. Mason Englert would come in and give up back to back homers in the bottom of the 7th inning to make it 6-0. Yandy Diaz would get the Rays on the board with a RBI single in the top of the 8th to make it 6-1 but thats all the Rays offense would get. The Rays finish the 12 game 14 day road trip 6-6 and will head back home to face the New York Yankees starting Tuesday night.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays COMEBACK AGAIN to beat the San Francisco Giants

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 04:03:09 +0000

The Rays complete another comeback to beat the San Francisco Giants again, 2-1. This was a good ole fashion pitchers duel for the first 5 and a half innings of this game. Future hall of famer Justin Verlander started for the Giants and shut out the Rays for 7 IP. Adrian Houser started for the Rays and was just as good. He went 5 IP striking out 6 and not allowing any runs. The Giants would break through in the 6th inning after Houser came out of the game to make it 1-0. After Verlander exited the Rays went to work on the Giants bullpen. Yandy Diaz would tie the game with 2 outs in the 8th with a RBI single. Brandon Lowe would give the Rays the lead with another RBI single to make it 2-1. The Rays bullpen would take it from there to seal the win for the Rays. The Rays will go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon.

The Tampa Bay Rays bounce back in a big way, beating the A's 8-2. Tampa Bay did not mess around in this one. With 2 outs in the 1st inning and Chandler Simpson on 3rd the Rays started a Rally. It started with a Josh Lowe RBI double. Followed by a Junior Caminero RBI double and a Jake Mangum RBI single to make it 3-0. Mangum would come around to score on an error to complete a 4 run 4th inning. The Rays kept on adding runs in the 2nd.

Junior Caminero hit his 34th homer of the year in the top of the 9th to put the finishing touches on the win. Drew Rasmussen started for the Rays and was fantastic once again. He went 6 IP only 3 hits 1 ER and 5 strikeouts. The Rays win their 2nd series of the road trip and will head to San Francisco to take on the Giants starting Friday night.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays turn in an EMBARRASSING performance vs the The A's

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 04:50:18 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays put up one of their worst performances of the year, losing to the A's 6-0. Nothing went right for the Rays tonight. They only mustered 4 hits and struck out 10 times. The Rays did not get a runner to 3rd base until the 9th inning and only a runner to 2nd base 3 times. The A's scored on a RBI double in the 2nd inning. Then in the 3rd a 2 out double would give the A's a 3-0 lead. Then the Rays dropped an infield pop up which led to another Rays run. The Rays offense finished the game going 1 for 16 as they failed to put up any kid of fight. Shane Baz started for the Rays and was inconsistent. He went 7 IP striking out 7 but allowed 4 earned runs. Baz did not give up a lot, but what he did give up hurt the Rays. The Rays will look to win the series tomorrow night.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 05:14:40 +0000

The Rays had base runners on all game as they finished with 15 hits. Josh Lowe knocked one of those base runners home with a Sac fly in the 3rd to make it 3-0. Christopher Morel hit a solo homer in the 4th to make it 4-0. The A's would make it 4-1 in the bottom of the 5th but the Rays would respond in the 7th with back to back homers by Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero as both guys remain hot. The A's would make things interesting in the bottom of the 7th with a 3 run homer to make it 6-4. But a Sac Fly by Brandon Lowe in the top of the 8th gave the Rays some insurance to make it 7-4. The Rays bullpen would close it out from there to finish off the win. The Rays will look to win the series tomorrow night.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays suffer a FRUSTRATING loss to the Seattle Mariners

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 23:19:40 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays can't get a win, losing to the Seattle Mariners 6-3. It was a nightmare first inning for the Rays. The Mariners scored 4 runs and batted around to take a 4-0 lead. The Rays would slowly chip away with runs in the 2nd 3rd and 4th to make it a 4-3 game. The Rays would get the tying run on base multiple times after that but finished just 1/11 with RISP. The Mariners would get some insurance in the 7th inning on a Josh Naylor home run to make it 5-3. The Rays would get the go ahead run to the plate in the 8th inning but could not come through. The Mariners would add 1 more run in the 9th to put the game out of reach for good. The Rays are swept as they fall to 2-4 on the roadtrip. Time is running out for the Rays. They will head to Sacramento to take on the A's for a 3 game series starting tomorrow night.

The Rays can't get back in the win column, they lose to the Seattle Mariners 7-4. Just like yesterday this game started with a Brandon Lowe solo homer in the 1st inning to make it 1-0. The lead would be short lived. The Mariners would hit a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 1st. Then Cal Raleigh hit a 3 run homer to make it 5-1. The Rays would fall down 6-1 by the 4th inning. Junior Caminero would hit a 3 run home run to make it 6-4 but the Rays could not get any closer. Joe Boyle started for the Rays and struggled. He only went 3.1 IP walking 5 and allowing 6 runs. The Rays will look to avoid getting swept tomorrow afternoon.

The Tampa Bay Rays lose a tough one to the Seattle Mariners 3-2.

No one would score for the next 5 innings until Junior Caminero hit a tall home run in the 6th to make it 2-0. Drew Rasmussen started for the Rays and was fantastic. He went 6 IP only allowed 4 hits and 0 runs. Everything was going great for the Rays until the 8th inning. After 2 hits were allowed by Griffin Jax Cal Raleigh hit the go ahead home run. The Rays will look to get back in the series tomorrow night.

The Rays lose again, this time to the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0. Same old story for the Rays. The offense had plenty of runners on base and in scoring position but could never get the big hit needed to make the game competitive. The Dodgers on the other hand had a 2 run lead 4 batters into the game and took off from there. Shane Baz struggled tonight for the Rays. He went 5 IP 8 hits and allowed all 5 runs. The Rays are now 3 game under .500 as we go into the last 2 months of the season. They will try to get on the right track tomorrow afternoon against the Dodgers.

The Tampa Bay Rays lose a tough game to the New York Yankees 7-5. The Rays once again scored 2 runs in the first thanks to a Jonny DeLuca 2 RBI triple. The Rays would add another run in the 3rd on a solo homer by Jonathan Aranda. Then disaster would strike. Cody Bellinger would hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 3rd to tie the game. Then in the 4th thanks to a bevy of walks and errors the Yankees would add 3 more to make it 6-3. The Rays would add a run in the 7th to make it 6-4. The Yankees would add one in the 8th to make it 7-4. The Rays would add a run in the 9th and get the tying run in scoring position but could not tie it. The Rays have 2 massive games coming up against the Yankees before the trade deadline. The first, is tomorrow night.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays FINALLY pick up a win vs the New York Yankees

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 02:31:27 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays snap their 4 game losing streak, beating the New York Yankees 4-2. Despite the score the Rays dominated this game. It started with a 2 run home run by Junior Caminero in the 1st inning. The Yankees would respond in the bottom of the 1st. Drew Rasmussen walked in 2 with the bases loaded to tie the game. The Rays would re take the lead thanks to a RBI single by Josh Lowe in the 5th inning. The Rays would add on an extra insurance run in the 8th on a Yandy Diaz Sac fly. The Rays had more than double the Yankees hits but would never quite get the hit to break the game open. The Rays pitching was fantastic tonight. After the 1st inning they shut the Yankees down. The bullpen has also bounced back in a big way. They pitched the last 4 innings only giving up 2 hits striking out 5. The Rays will look to build on this momentum against the Yankees tomorrow night.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 01:50:47 +0000

The Rays could not get out of their own way in a 6-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The Rays only allowed 7 hits but walked 8 Reds batters that lead to the 4 runs. The Rays would get on the board first with a Yandy Diaz solo homer in the 6th. The Reds would immediately respond with 2 in the 6th because of an error by Rays shortstop Taylor Walls. The Rays would tie the game the next inning with a Josh Lowe RBI single. In the bottom of the 7th things would unravel for the Rays. The Bullpen would give up 4 walks in the inning which would end up leading to 2 Reds runs to make the lead 4-2. Ryan Pepiot was fantastic for the Rays. He went 6 IP striking out 6 and not giving up any earned runs. It is panic time for the Rays. They sit at just 1 game above .500 with a big game on deck tomorrow afternoon against the Reds to close out the series.

The Tampa Bay Rays lose big to the Cincinnati Reds 7-2. The Rays offense sputtered once again, only mustering 2 runs. The Reds got the scoring started with a solo homer in the 2nd inning. The Rays would respond in the top of the 3rd with a Jonathan Aranda RBI single. The Rays would take the lead in the top of the 4th with a Taylor Walls RBI double. Everything would go downhill from there. The Reds would immediately answer with 2 in the bottom of the 4th to take the lead and they would not give it up. The Reds would break the game open in the 6th and 7th with 2 runs in each inning to make it 7-2. Zack Littell started for the Rays and battled. He ended up going 6 IP and was 1 out away from a quality start. He would give up a 2 run homer with 2 outs in the 6th that would break the game open. The Rays look to bounce back tomorrow night with Ryan Pepiot on the mound.

The Rays responded with a Junior Caminero RBI single and a Danny Jansen home run, but that was all the offense they could generate. After the sixth inning, play was halted by a rain delay that lasted over two hours. When the game resumed, both offenses struggled to find momentum. Ian Seymour delivered quality innings for the Rays out of the bullpen after the delay, The Rays would threat in the 9th getting the tying run in scoring position but could not come through. Despite the loss, the Rays still took the series 2-1 and will look to carry that momentum into tomorrow night’s opener against the White Sox.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays GET DOMINATED AGAIN by the Boston Red Sox

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 20:30:48 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays lost their 4th in a row to the Boston Red Sox 4-1. This was more of the same for the Rays. The offense only mustered 1 run in this one. The Rays scored just 1 run in the last 18 innings of the series. The 1 run came off a Sacrifice fly by Josh Lowe in the 5th inning. Ryan Pepiot was really good for 5 of his 6 innings pitched. In that 6th inning Boston hit a 2 run home run to put the nail in the Rays coffin. The Rays are in the midst of their worst baseball of the year. Luckily for the Rays they get the All-Star break to figure things out. The Rays are back at it on Friday night vs the Orioles.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays offense gets DOMINATED by the Boston Red Sox

The Tampa Bay Rays offense can't get anything going as they lose to the Red Sox 1-0. The Rays offense got absolutely manhandled by Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet. The Rays only mustered 3 hits as they turned in another lackluster performance. The only opportunity they had was in the 6th inning when they had 1st and 3rd one out. Ha-Seong Kim tried to bunt home the run but the Red Sox made a fantastic defensive play to keep the Rays scoreless. Shane Baz was just as good as Crochet. He went 6.1 IP only giving up 5 hits and 1 run. The lone run came in the 4th inning off a RBI single by Carlos Narvaez. The Rays will look to avoid being swept tomorrow afternoon.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays BULLPEN CAN'T GET IT DONE AGAIN in a loss to the Detroit Tigers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 9 Jul 2025 01:34:12 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays lose again 4-2 to the Detroit Tigers. The Rays got out to a 2-0 start thanks to a solo homer by Jonathan Aranda and a RBI single by Josh Lowe. Thanks to the Rays walking more Tigers batters than they had hits the Tigers started to come back. It started with a Spence Torkelson homer and it ended with a Colt Keith 2 run home run in the bottom of the 7th. The Tampa Bay Rays bullpen has been awful the last 2 weeks and that did not change today. That 2 run home run was the 7th straight game the Rays bullpen gave up at least 2 runs in a game. The Rays are playing some of their worst baseball of the year but will look to turn it around tomorrow afternoon.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays OFFENSE GETS DOMINATED in a loss to the Detroit Tigers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 8 Jul 2025 01:24:24 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays drop the first game of the series to the Detroit Tigers 5-1. The Rays just never got things going in this one. The Rays got down 2-0 early after a 2 run home run by Javy Baez. The Rays would get one of those runs back after a Jonathan Aranda RBI single. That would be the only offense the Rays would muster as Tigers pitcher Keider Montero only needed 68 pitches to get through 6 IP. Shane Baz pitched for the Rays and was solid once again. He went 6 IP striking out 7 giving up 3 runs. The Rays bullpen gave up 2 earned runs once again. They have now allowed multiple runs in 5 straight games. The Rays will look for a bounce back tomorrow.

After a quiet stretch, the Rays' offense broke through in the sixth. Josh Lowe launched a solo homer to dead center to tie the game, followed by a Brandon Lowe double and a towering two-run shot by Yandy Díaz that gave the Rays their first lead. Chandler Simpson added an RBI single as part of a two-run frame to stretch the lead to 6-2. The A's mounted a furious rally in the ninth, scoring three runs to make it 6-5 and loading the bases. But Edwin Uceta came through in the clutch, striking out Nick Kurtz to seal the win.

Then Taylor Walls would beat out an infield single that scored two runs to win it. Ryan Pepiot was also fantastic for the Rays. He went 6 IP only giving up 3 hits and 2 runs.

The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night. Wonderful Pistachios Looking for a snack that’s both delicious and nutritious?

Kansas City Royals SWEEP the Tampa Bay Rays at Home | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 2 May 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Rays just got swept by the Royals — for the first time since 2016, and for the first time at home since August 1998. We dive into a brutal three-game series where Tampa Bay managed just three total runs, dropped to 9–13 at home, and continued their downward spiral with eight losses in their last nine home games. Is the “Yankee Curse” real?

Only five teams in MLB have a losing home record, and the Rays are now one of them. We break down Shane Baz’s rough outing (7 runs, 9 hits in 5 ⅔), the lifeless offense, and the growing concerns as the team sits at 14–17 heading into a pivotal series in the Bronx. Are the Rays in a slump—or is this who they really are?

Will the Tampa Bay Rays Keep Winning STREAK Alive Against Kansas City Royals? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 May 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Rays enjoy a much-needed off-day Monday before a three-game home series against the Kansas City Royals (14–15), who sit third in the AL Central. We preview the pitching matchups — Taj Bradley, Drew Rasmussen, and Shane Baz — and break down how the Royals’ weak offense (29th in OPS, last in home runs) and shaky defense could give the Rays an edge.

We also dive into roster news, as the Rays add much-needed outfield depth by acquiring veteran Travis Jankowski. Meanwhile, Ha-Seong Kim’s return to everyday shortstop duty has been delayed until June or July, as the Rays take a cautious approach to his rehab. And despite multiple injuries, the club still appears reluctant to call up Eloy Jimenez.

San Diego Padres GOT SWEPT by Shane Baz & the Tampa Bay Rays | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Rays are back to .500 after a thrilling sweep, riding a five-game win streak with strong starts from Shane Baz, Ryan Pepiot, and Zack Littell. Littell also made headlines off the field, delivering a fiery team message about not settling for mediocrity. We dive into how improved situational hitting — thanks to Chandler Simpson, Kam Misner, and others — havehelped fuel the offense. Taylor Walls smashes his first homer since 2024, and the bullpen stays untouchable with 13 consecutive scoreless innings.

We also look ahead to the All-Star race and debate whether Chandler Simpson or Kameron Misner has the better shot at making the team. With big-name outfielders struggling, there could be room for a Rays breakout — especially with Simpson drawing "Little Tony Gwynn" comparisons from former big leaguer Marquis Grissom.

Plus, we read your favorite moments from the weekend sweep!

We also dig into Chandler Simpson’s impact thus far, and what the team should do with Christopher Morel.

We’re joined by WTSP Channel 10 Sports Director Evan Closky to discuss!

Baseball trivia and Name That War, to wrap up the episode!

Tampa Bay Rays Offense DECEIVING Stats? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 16:00:00 +0000

With the Rays sitting at 9-13 through the early stretch of the season, it’s time to ask: how concerned should fans be? In this episode, we break down the current state of the team and give our concern levels. From the offense to the pitching staff, from defensive lapses to what’s ahead on the injury front, we cover it all.

Tampa Bay is 6-3 against losing teams and just 3-10 against teams with winning records. The roster could look quite different a month from now, but the present issues remain. Steinbrenner Field hasn’t delivered a homefield edge, as the Rays are just 9-10 there despite outscoring opponents and posting a higher OPS. The ballpark’s unpredictable winds and home run-friendly layout have only added to the confusion.

In our final segment, we turn it over to the listeners and react to your thoughts on the Rays’ early season performance. Are you hitting the panic button or holding steady?

Chandler Simpson's MLB Debut | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Rays called up speedster Chandler Simpson for his MLB debut after another injury setback sent Richie Palacios back to the IL. Simpson became the first player in franchise history to debut while leading off, and just the fourth to do so in center field — joining Rocco Baldelli, Joey Gathright, and Elijah Dukes.

His first game at the plate? Not flashy — until it mattered. After a tough start, Simpson delivered his first big league hit in a clutch moment: a ground-rule double that sparked the Rays' ninth-inning comeback on Saturday.

We break down the expectations for Simpson moving forward: Is he here to stay, or just a short-term fix?

Plus, we update the growing list of injured Rays and preview a tricky road trip to face the surging Arizona Diamondbacks — including why the key to the series is simple: Don’t let Corbin Carroll beat you.

Rays Avoid Getting Swept & No-Hit by the New York Yankees | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Rays wrapped up a tough four-game home set, dropping three of four to the Yankees in a series that exposed some familiar flaws — namely, an inconsistent and often lifeless offense. Sunday nearly saw the Rays no-hit for the seventh time in franchise history, until Chandler Simpson broke it up in the 8th with a controversial infield single, followed by a clean hit from Jake Mangum. Max Fried flirted with history, while Trent Grisham's bat suddenly showed signs of life.

Saturday offered the lone bright spot: a wild comeback capped by Jonathan Aranda's clutch, walk-off homer in the 10th — just hours after being bloodied earlier in the game. A night that started looking like another lifeless defeat turned into a season-reviving win.

We also break down the growing debate around Jose Caballero vs. Taylor Walls at shortstop. With the Rays' offense sputtering, Kevin Cash seems to be leaning toward Cabby’s spark over Walls’ glove.

Zach Littell REBOUNDS, But Rays Drop Series to Red Sox | Locked On Rays

Zach Littell delivered a strong bounce-back performance, but the Rays’ bats stayed cold in a tough 1-0 loss to the Red Sox, sealing a series defeat at Steinbrenner Field.

Let’s break down Littell’s outing, the team’s continued offensive struggles, and dig into the lingering question: why hasn’t Shane McClanahan been moved to the 60-day IL yet?

Plus, with Tampa Bay still searching for lineup help, would J.D. Martinez be the right fit as a DH addition, as he’s still without an MLB gig?

Rays Homestand at 4-4 So Far, 5 Games Left | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 22:44:28 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays are heating up in their current homestand, sitting at 4-4 with five games left — one against the Boston Red Sox and four against the New York Yankees. And how about that statement win to open the series against Boston? A 16-1 blowout marked just the 10th time in franchise history the Rays have scored 16+ runs, powered by a wild 27-minute, 9-run inning. Yandy Díaz is on fire, homering in back-to-back games from the leadoff spot. Jake Mangum and Kam Misner continue to shine, while Shane Baz is dealing — now 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA and a career-high 11 strikeouts.

The biggest story, though, is Jonathan Aranda. He's leading the American League in doubles and all of MLB in batting average, slugging, OPS, and OPS+. As Brandon Lowe put it: “It’s what you were waiting for.” Aranda is slashing an unreal .413/.481/.761 — a massive jump from his .222 career average. But with only 7 plate appearances vs. lefties, and southpaw Sean Newcomb struggling on the mound, is it time to test him further?

We also talk Joe Boyle’s electric Rays debut, Zack Littell’s bounce-back potential, Richie Palacios' rehab, and the return of Eric Orze.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

On a Fun Friday episode, Uli hits Kevin with a round of bold predictions and tough questions, asking whether Taylor Walls will rack up more plate appearances than Jake Mangum and Kameron Misner combined, and how long the offense has before it officially becomes a concern.

The guys also debate whether Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s new contract with the Toronto Blue is a smart investment or an overpay, and what it means for the AL East going forward.

Jonny DeLuca Hits the IL | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 22:33:52 +0000

Tough week in Rays land. Centerfielder Jonny DeLuca, one of the team's hottest hitters, is expected to miss 2–4 weeks with a shoulder strain after a diving catch in Texas. We break down what his absence means for the outfield rotation, what Coco Montes’ call-up signals, and whether the Rays might soon explore other options like Eloy Jiménez or Chandler Simpson.

Plus, we take a deep dive into the Tropicana Field repairs that St. Pete has to make—whether they like it or not. From a leaky roof to damaged electronics and field turf, the Trop is getting patched up, but not without some political drama involved. Will repairs really be made by Opening Day 2026?

MAILBAG: Platooning Done Right | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

In this mailbag episode of Locked On Rays, we dig into your questions about the Rays’ early-season trends!

Why is the team so committed to pinch-hitting for platoon advantages, even when the starting position player is performing well?

From there, we shift to the bullpen and share some concerns about Pete Fairbanks, who’s been putting too many runners on base for some’s comfort.

Finally, we look at the early offensive struggles of Danny Jansen and Ben Rortvedt and ask what the Rays can do to get more production from the catcher spot.

Rays Get Swept in Texas Again | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 9 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Rays just can't seem to figure it out in Texas. We dig into their continued struggles in Arlington—dating back to the 2020 World Series—and what went wrong this time in a frustrating sweep. Plus, Taylor Walls is flashing serious leather at third, but how long can the Rays carry a .136 hitter with a .405 OPS?

We also dive into the offense overall—just 9 runs in 3 games. Is it time to start worrying?

Then it's a look ahead to the Angels series, with L.A. off to a surprising 6-3 start. Logan O’Hoppe is mashing, and Mike Trout is finally healthy. The Rays have a lengthy stretch of homes games, so now’s the time to start capitalizing.

In this episode, we break down the latest Rays series win against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a deep dive into the standout performances on the mound, including Shane Baz’s historic outing.

Plus, Rays 29-year-old rookie Jake Mangum is on fire—could he be the Rays’ version of a late-blooming standout like Joey Wendle? How is he off to such a hot start?

Josh Lowe Goes to the IL---Who Are the Candidates to Step Up? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 2 Apr 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Josh Lowe is back on the IL with another oblique injury—his second in as many years, and this one’s even worse. Could this sap his power and impact his ability to drive the ball? On the bright side, his absence opens the door for players like Jake Misner, Jake Mangum, and maybe even Chandler Simpson.

Later, we preview the Rays’ upcoming series against the Pirates. Paul Skenes is set to take the mound Wednesday—could he be the next Verlander or Scherzer? Meanwhile, the Pirates continue their struggle for relevance, coming off a tough start to the season and facing an uphill battle in the NL Central. Can their young talent turn things around? Tune in for all this and more!

Opening Weekend a Success for Rays Against Rockies | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 10:50:00 +0000

The Rays' starting rotation is dealing, but the offense isn’t giving them much breathing room.

We break down another stellar stretch for the pitching staff and why the bats need to step up. Sunday’s win proved small ball still has its place, while Jake Misner had his big moment in Friday’s walk-off thriller.

Plus, some slick defensive plays from Aranda, Morel, Walls, and Misner kept the Rays in games. And what’s the deal with the torpedo bats? The Yankees are crushing, and Caminero and Yandy are taking notes. Tune in for all that and more!

Kameron Misner Walks it Off for the Rays First 2025 Victory | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays kicked off their season in thrilling fashion, taking down the Rockies in a nail-biter at Steinbrenner Field. Ryan Pepiot delivered a strong outing with 8 strikeouts over 6 innings, despite an early Rockies lead following a Junior Caminero error and a Tovar double. The Rays' bats struggled against a dominant Kyle Freeland, but the bullpen gave them a shot.

Tune in as we break down the pivotal moments — B-Lowe's clutch hit, Caminero’s redemption double, and Jonathan Aranda’s massive sac fly. Plus, the shocking exit of Josh Lowe, Danny Jansen's cannon of an arm, and Curtis Mead’s near-game-changing HBP. Then, we relive the electric walk-off — Kameron Misner’s first career homer!

It’s Opening Day baseball at its finest. Let’s talk about how the Rays fought back and why this win could set the tone for the season.

CROSSOVER: Colorado Rockies Will Be the First Test | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to open their 2025 MLB season against the Colorado Rockies on Friday, March 28, at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.

Locked On Rockies host Paul Holden joins us to break down the state of the Rockies heading into the 2025 season and their opening series versus the Rays. With the Rockies struggling mightily over the last several years, we discuss the importance of the Rays getting off to a hot start, and at least winning the opening day, if not sweeping.

Meantime, we also touch on the unique challenges the Rockies face: free-agent pitchers avoiding Coors Field, a front office unwilling to overpay, and the difficulties of player development at altitude.

Shane McClanahan will start the season on the IL with an inflamed nerve in his left triceps.

AL EAST DIVISION PREVIEW: Deciphering why the New York Yankees WILL NOT Win the AL East

The New York Yankees are favored to win the AL East but this will be a tough division. The Baltimore Orioles figure to have something to say about the Yankees. The Boston Red Sox had the best offseason in the division and will be tough to beat. The Toronto Blue Jays are too talented to have another bad season. The Tampa Bay Rays are a well-ran organization. Will Aaron Judge lead the Yankees to another division title? Or will Gunnar Henderson, Rafael Devers, Vladimir Guerrero, or Junior Caminero lead their team to glory? Our Locked On hosts of the AL East Division break down what to expect for the 2025 MLB season.

Stu Sternberg Says No to the Stadium Deal | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 01:56:11 +0000

In this episode, we discuss the shocking decision by Tampa Bay Rays owner Stuart Sternberg to pull out of a proposed $1.3 billion stadium and redevelopment project. The move comes just weeks before a key deadline to finalize the deal, aimed at keeping the team in St. Petersburg and revitalizing the surrounding area. While Major League Baseball remains committed to finding a permanent home for the Rays, the decision has left many, including St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch, disappointed and frustrated. Welch, who had staked his administration on this deal, has made it clear that he will no longer negotiate with the current ownership group.

We break down the fallout from this announcement, the impact on the city’s future plans, and the reactions from local leaders and community members. What does this mean for the Rays’ future in Tampa Bay? Tune in for insights, analysis, and our take on where things could go from here.

How Does Rays Fandom Grade Stu Sternberg? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Mailbag Episode!

Will we get to see top prospects Carson Williams, Tre Morgan, and Chandler Simpson take the field as starters this year? We discuss their chances, potential impact, and what it would mean for the Rays’ lineup.

The Rays are one of the few MLB teams without a jersey sponsor for the 2025 season. What’s the deal? We share our thoughts on the impact this could have, and what it might say about the team’s branding, marketing, and future. Also, has Stu Sternberg soured on the fanbase? What will be his legacy? If he is graded on community outreach, stadium deal, on-field success and payroll, how would Rays fans grade him?

Rumors on Rays Sale to Tampa Group with Evan Closky | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 03:00:00 +0000

Rumors are swirling about a potential sale of the Rays to a Tampa-based investment group, but how serious is it? Sources indicate that while talks are happening, there’s no deal in sight. Could local ownership make Hillsborough County more willing to fund a new stadium? And more importantly, does this become a distraction for the players as the season approaches? WTSP Channel 10 Sports Director Evan Closky helps break it all down.

And, after seeing a baseball diamond inside Raymond James Stadium, does the idea of the Bucs’ home becoming a temporary baseball venue feel more realistic? Are the Savannah Bananas built for long-term success, or is their appeal going to fade?

Locked On Rays head to their first Spring Training game of 2025 together and get a firsthand look at the automatic balls-strikes system in action.

Plus, this gets us thinking how the Tampa Bay Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field could give the team an energy boost with a sold-out crowd closer to the action.

We also break down an early look at the Rays’ projected 2025 roster courtesy of WTSP Sports Director Evan Closky. Who makes the early cut, and who doesn't? We then wrap up with some baseball trivia and another round of Name That WAR!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 23:16:28 +0000

We dive into Curtis Mead’s scorching start to Spring Training. The former top-100 prospect is proving he’s more than just a utility guy—his bat is doing all the talking. With above-average bat speed, added muscle, and effortless power, Mead has been crushing the ball, including a mammoth shot over the Fort Myers’ “Green Monster” and consistent hard contact to deep right-center.

Team Unity a Focus Point for Rays in 2025 | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 04:00:00 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays are stressing unity and uniformity after a frustrating 2024. We break down the team’s new push for accountability and camaraderie, including new clubhouse rules on uniforms, gear, and a more team-first mentality. Is this a reaction to past clubhouse issues? Then, we shift to the Rays’ offensive outlook for 2025. Can they find a way to score at least 700 runs after last season’s struggles at the plate? We analyze how key additions like Danny Jansen and Ha-Seong Kim, improved health, and how young talent like Jonathan Aranda, Curtis Mead, and Chandler Simpson could help spark the lineup.

Tune in for all that and more as we break down the latest from Rays camp.

Joe Boyle Throws Hard While Shane McClanahan Is Back | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 4 Mar 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Spring is in the air, and so is the heat coming from Joe Boyle’s right arm. We break down the Tampa Bay Rays' latest spring training developments, starting with Boyle lighting up the radar gun—hitting triple digits in 14 of 20 pitches against the Pirates. With no walks and plenty of swings and misses, could he be the Rays' next big pitching project? Kevin Cash and Kyle Snyder think he has the tools, but for now, Triple-A Durham seems like his next stop.

Then, Shane McClanahan made his long-awaited return, pitching for the first time since elbow surgery in August 2023. The lefty looked sharp, hitting 99 mph and shaking off rust like he never left. But how much can the Rays expect from him this season? Is a 150-inning, sub-3.30 ERA campaign realistic?

Tune in for all that and more as we break down the latest from Rays camp.

Infield? Outfield? Why Not Both? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

We break down the Rays’ unique approach to defensive versatility, with infielders shifting to the outfield to help fill gaps. With Josh Lowe and Jonny DeLuca as the only true full-time outfielders, the team is counting on players like Richie Palacios and José Caballero to handle outfield reps, especially in left and center.

We explore how Caballero’s speed and fall league experience in center field could factor into his role and whether Curtis Mead, Junior Caminero, or others could see time in unexpected spots.

Plus, we discuss the Rays’ $20 standing-room-only ticket initiative, which ensures fans still have an affordable way to catch games at Steinbrenner Field. How does this compare to past ticket deals, and what does it mean for attendance? Tune in for all that and more!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

We dive into the mailbag to answer your pressing questions about the Rays! First, we discuss the impact of the team’s lack of veteran leadership on the pitching staff and how that could play out as the season progresses—especially when the playoffs roll around.

Then, we break down the hype surrounding Chandler Simpson, a prospect turning heads in spring training. Could he be a Billy Hamilto- type who actually gets on base, or is it too soon to tell? We share our thoughts on his potential and what we need to see before buying into the excitement.

ABS Makes Its Debut in MLB Spring Training | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

The automated ball strike (ABS) system has made its debut in MLB games...but just Spring Training. Fans will get the opportunity to see how this affects the pace of play and whether it is an enjoyable addition to the national pastime.

Only the pitcher, the catcher and the batter will have the opportunity to challenge a strike/ball by tapping on their head. Every team gets two challenges, which they lose when they are wrong and will keep if they are correct.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive into the evolving Rays lineup and how Yandy Díaz could be shifted out of the leadoff spot. With Jonathan Aranda and Josh Lowe emerging as strong left-handed options, we break down what this means for the team’s offensive approach.

Next, we focus on Brandon Lowe’s tenure with the Rays and his potential path to becoming a franchise mainstay. With over six years of service time, he’s climbing the ranks of the longest-tenured Rays players. Could he join the likes of Ben Zobrist, Carl Crawford, and Evan Longoria as one of the all-time greats in Tampa Bay? We discuss his impact, legacy, and what the future might hold.

Will 2025 Be Pete Fairbanks' Last Year with the Rays? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Last season, the Rays’ bullpen ranked among the best in the league in ERA (9th, 3.73), saves (4th, 51), and WHIP (6th, 1.19). But they also allowed the second-most homers (82) and finished just 10th in strikeouts (619). With a mix of returning fireballers and intriguing new arms, Tampa Bay is rebuilding its relief corps with power in mind.

In this episode, we break down the bullpen battles, the impact of new additions like Alex Faedo and Eric Orze, and whether high-velocity arms like Mason Montgomery, Hunter Bigge, and Manny Rodríguez can cement their spots. Plus, we discuss Pete Fairbanks’ future, Kevin Cash’s thoughts on velocity, and how roster decisions could shake out as Opening Day approaches.

Will the Rays’ bullpen become a dominant force in 2024? Tune in for our analysis, roster projections, and inside notes from camp!

Shane McClanahan is the Opening Day Starter | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:00:00 +0000

Opening Day is right around the corner, and the Rays have made their choice—Shane McClanahan is back as the ace. After missing the end of 2023 and all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery, McClanahan has impressed this spring, hitting 97-98 mph in live BP. But with his injury history, how much will the Rays manage his workload?

And off the field, Rays leadership isn’t holding back on their perceived issues with a new stadium deal. With fresh comments from Rays presidents Brian Auld and Matt Silverman, we break down the franchise’s frustrations and what it means for the team’s future in St. Petersburg.

Rays Starting Rotation Competition for 2025 | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

With six quality arms vying for just five rotation spots, the Tampa Bay Rays have a tough decision to make. Shane McClanahan and Drew Rasmussen return from elbow surgeries, joining Shane Baz, Taj Bradley, Zack Littell, and Ryan Pepiot in what promises to be an intense competition.

GM Erik Neander has made it clear the team doesn’t plan on using a six-man rotation—so who’s the odd man out? Could a bullpen role be in the cards for someone like Rasmussen?

We break down each pitcher’s case for a rotation spot, the risk of injuries during spring training, and what the Rays prioritize in building their 2025 staff. Plus, we debate who will log the most innings, post the lowest ERA, and which arm is most likely to be traded by season’s end. Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the biggest storyline of Rays spring camp!

Rays Legend Kevin Kiermaier Becomes Outfield Mentor for...the Blue Jays | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Former Tampa Bay Rays defensive wizard Kevin Kiermaier has landed a job as a special assistant with the Toronto Blue Jays where he’ll also provide outfield instruction to minor league and major league players.

He approached the Rays for a similar role, but why did the local team not pull the trigger? Would he have ever chosen Toronto over Tampa Bay if given the option? And with the Rays lacking outfield depth in 2025, wouldn’t it have made sense for him to provide guidance to young players like Johnny DeLuca?

Plus, we dive into the Rays’ 2025 promotional schedule — what are the best giveaways out of the bunch? Did the team miss any must-have items? And how does this year's promo lineup compare to previous seasons? Tune in for a full breakdown!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Feb 2025 23:55:00 +0000

In this special crossover episode, the Locked On Rays crew teams up with Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes to provide insights on newly acquired Tampa Bay Rays infielder Ha-Seong Kim, who spent the past four seasons in a San Diego uniform.

Javier details why Kim was a fan-favorite for Padres fans, and why he’ll likely succeed in a Rays uniform in 2025 (and hopefully beyond). He also discusses some of Kim’s most momentous on-field and off-field moments.

Ha-Seong Kim Signs Two-Year Deal with the Rays | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 13:30:00 +0000

Ha-Seong Kim is officially the highest-paid player in Tampa Bay Rays history, but what does that mean for the team’s future? In this episode, we break down Kim’s all-around game—his underrated power, elite defense, and high-contact approach that makes him a unique weapon in the lineup.

With a Gold Glove to his name and a career WAR that proves his value, Kim’s addition could push the Rays back into serious playoff contention. But after shoulder surgery, how will he bounce back? And what does his arrival mean for Taylor Walls?

We also dive into the offseason free-agent market—was Kim a steal compared to other shortstops? And with projections ranging from $24 million to $100 million, did the Rays just make one of the smartest signings of the year?

All that and more, as we dissect the impact of Tampa Bay’s boldest move yet.

Tropicana Field Doesn't Have to be Ready for Opening Day 2026? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 04:00:00 +0000

City Administrator Rob Gerdes told the Tampa Bay Rays that St. Petersburg is under no obligation to repair Tropicana Field in time for Opening Day 2026. This comes after Rays president Matt Silverman wrote a letter to the city Dec. 30 saying the club has changed its position on repairs to the dome.

Junior Caminero played Winter League baseball with his hometown team Leones del Escogido. Caminero, 21, hit .346 (9-for-26) with a 1.086 OPS in the seven-game final. That, after batting .448 (26-for-58) with a 1.285 OPS in the 15-game round-robin semifinals.

He joined Escogido with nine games left in the regular season, hitting .424 (14-for-33) with a 1.003 OPS.

Plus, Rays owner Stu Sternberg kept close to the vest when speaking recently at the Tampa Tiger Bay Club. But, he did seem to indicate the Rays will meet whatever conditions are necessary by the March 31 deadline.

No Roof? No Roki Sasaki For You | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Tampa Bay Rays were poised to make a big splash in the international free-agent market with Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, but fate – and a hurricane – had other plans. On this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive deep into the Rays' pursuit of Sasaki, the financial and logistical hurdles they faced, and what his signing could have meant for the team.

Taylor Walls Goes to Arbitration Against Rays | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, we dive into the intriguing arbitration case between infielder Taylor Walls and the Tampa Bay Rays, as there’s only a $275,000 gap separating Walls’ $1.575 million request and the Rays’ $1.3 million offer. We analyze the numbers, the arguments, and the potential implications for the player and the organization.

Who has the better case? We break down the Rays’ strategy and Walls’ counterpoints, examining his elite defensive metrics, versatility, and baserunning prowess. The downside: Walls’ declining offensive production and struggles at the plate may make this a tough sell in arbitration.The bigger picture: Could this arbitration battle signal the Rays are preparing to move on from Walls, or is this just business as usual for Tampa Bay’s notoriously tight payroll management?

Drew Rasmussen Gets Extended | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Jan 2025 22:00:00 +0000

Rays and Drew Rasmussen strike a deal that could reach $28 million. This multi-year deal with a team option for 2027, which buys out his first Free Agent year, comes with a $500,000 signing bonus and is guaranteed for approximately $8 million.

-The righty who made his MLB debut in 2020 is expected to return as a starter this season after he returned last August from third elbow surgery.

-The deal guarantees Rasmussen $8.5 million but could be worth up to $28 million. He gets a $500,000 signing bonus, $2 million for 2025, $5.5 million for $2026 and a team option for 2027 for $8 million. (The option comes with escalators based on health and innings pitched that could push the total to as much as $20 million; the buyout is $500,000.)

-Rasmussen was one of six Rays remaining in the arbitration process, facing a Thursday 1 p.m. deadline to agree to terms or head to a hearing. …The other five are pitchers Zack Littell, Shane Baz, Garrett Cleavinger; infielder Taylor Walls; catcher Ben Rortvedt.

-In 44 starts with the Rays since the Willy Adames trade in 2021, Drew has a record of 18-9 with a 2.57 ERA, and a combination of 195 strikeouts and 48 walks over 227 2/3 innings.

Stadium Aside, How Would You Grade the Rays Offseason? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 1 Jan 2025 20:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Locked on Rays podcast, we dive into the Tampa Bay Rays' offseason moves, grading their signings, trades, and losses up to this point. From the addition of Danny Jansen to bolster the catcher position to the intriguing acquisition of Eloy Jiménez, we discuss whether these moves are enough to keep the Rays competitive in a fiercely active AL East. We also break down the notable subtractions, including Jeffrey Springs and Jose Siri, and whether the Rays' strategy to trust their offensive core will pay off.

Plus, with Tropicana Field potentially uninhabitable for 2025, we debate where the team’s next FanFest should be held. Could it be an outdoor park, a nearby venue, or something more unconventional? Tune in as we weigh in on all things Rays and explore how the AL East rivals are shaping up for the season.

Welcome, Eloy Jimenez! Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 04:55:00 +0000

In this festive Locked On Rays episode, we break down the Rays taking a chance on former White Sox/Orioles designated hitter Eloy Jiménez with a prove-it deal. We break down his $2 million contract with incentives (if he makes the team) and discuss his power-hitting potential, injury history, and what he could bring to the lineup in 2025. Can he follow in the footsteps of past successful Rays bounce-back stories? Then, we get into our Rays holiday wish lists. (Hint: We’re asking Santa for more offensive help in 2025, plus shovels in the ground for a new Rays stadium in St. Petersburg.)

Stadium Pressure All on the Rays Now with Evan Closky | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +0000

On this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive into the high-stakes drama surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays' future home. With St. Petersburg council members approved their share of financing earlier this month alongside Pinellas County Commission’s approval from Tuesday (5-2 bonds vote passed). The commission's decision on the stadium bonds has now put all the pressure on the Tampa Bay Rays.

We’ll break the following with WTSP’s Sports Director Evan Closky:

⚾ Why these approvals still might not secure the Rays' commitment.

⚾ The key players in the commission, including Chris Scherer, Dave Eggers, and Chris Latvala, and their pivotal roles in this decision

⚾ Could a competing pitch for a waterfront stadium in Tampa’s Ybor Harbor, made in July 2023, resurface as a viable alternative?

With rising construction costs, looming deadlines, and questions about public funding, the Rays are under pressure to secure a solution. Are they leaning toward Ybor (or elsewhere) or committed to keeping baseball in St. Pete? Tune in as we analyze the political, financial, and community implications of this decision and what it means for the Rays’ future in Tampa Bay.

Goodbye, Jeffrey Springs | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:10:05 +0000

Left-handed pitchers Jeffrey Springs and Jacob Lopez have been traded to the Athletics as the Rays get RHP Joe Boyle, 1B/3B/OF Will Simpson, RHP Jacob Watters, and the team’s Comp-A draft pick, which falls between the first and second round of the coming draft.

-Springs shined in 2022, posting a breakout season with a 2.46 ERA across 33 appearances (25 starts)-Springs’ 2023 campaign was cut short due to an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery after just three stellar starts-He returned late in 2024 with seven starts that were enough to show he’s on track to form.

Joe Boyle: 6’7’’, hard throwing righty, exceeded rookie limits in 2024. Great stuff but almost no control.

-had the worst BB% among qualified pitchers at 17.7% last year, and consequently had the lowest Chase rate at 19.3%.

-He tops out at 100 mph on his fastball, and has a slider and curveball that also grade in the 60’s on the 20-to-80 scale.-Will Simpson: corner infielder but addressed as OF in Passan’s tweet. Made AA debut for a bit and had a 155 wRC+ and 2 HR over 47 PA to end the year.The Rays have the:14th, 34th, 36th & 51st pick of the 2025 MLB Draft. Rays have roughly five of the top 70 picks.

Rays could use another OF, and an offensive-minded SS w/ the big-league club…Another pitcher for Rays on the move? (Trade prospect depth for MLB-proven talent, and add on some salary?)

Pinellas County Commission Votes Today | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

On this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive into the high-stakes drama surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays' future home. With St. Petersburg council members approving their share of financing earlier this month, all eyes are now on the Pinellas County Commission. Scheduled to vote on Tuesday, the commission's decision on the stadium bonds could make or break the proposed St. Pete ballpark deal — but there’s no guarantee of a “yes.”

We’ll break down:

⚾ What a potential “yes” vote means—and why it still might not secure the Rays' commitment.

⚾ The key players in the commission, including Chris Scherer, Dave Eggers, and Chris Latvala, and their pivotal roles in this decision.

Wander Franco's Trial Delayed for 6 Months | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +0000

The trial for Wander Franco has been postponed until June 2, 2025. Reports are that the delay in the trial, stemming from his relationship with a minor, was the result of more than 30 witnesses not being present. Franco, 23, is facing charges of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of a minor and human trafficking, with a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. The charges stem from a relationship with a then-14-year-old girl that started in December 2022, when Franco was 21.

The delay was requested by the prosecutors as several key witnesses were not present, and there was some question if they were properly summoned. ESPN reported that only three of the 36 who are scheduled to testify were in the courtroom on Thursday; the Associated Press said it was three of 31.

“Wander’s lawyer: “There is no case against Wander, for as many witnesses as they present, there is no case now.” Jaquez told other reporters he expects an acquittal. One of the prosecutors, meanwhile, said they felt they still had a strong case.Why would so many witnesses no-show? Let us know in the comments!

MAILBAG: Would Tampa Kid Kyle Tucker Make the Rays Playoff Contenders? | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Mailbag Episode!

In this episode of the Locked on Rays podcast, we dive into a trio of mailbag questions and tackle the big topics on every Rays fan's mind. With Juan Soto’s blockbuster deal shaking up MLB, we discuss how it might impact future contracts for stars like Vlad Guerrero Jr. Then, we explore a tantalizing scenario: Could the Rays bring Tampa native Kyle Tucker home for a season? What kind of trade package would it take, and could it include catching prospect Walker Janek?

We also take a step back to address some of the recent challenges facing Rays fans —from hurricane damage to concerns about the stadium deal and Tricia Whitaker's departure. Amidst the storm, we share reasons to stay hopeful and passionate about Rays baseball.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has been making the rounds in Florida. First, Manfred met with the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, then he followed up that meeting with St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch and the Pinellas County Commission. Whatever he said must have given good outlook for the Rays as Matt Silverman was quoted with optimism regarding the Bonds vote that said commission will vote on December 17th.

Welcome, Danny Jansen | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +0000

The Locked on Rays crew breaks down the Tampa Bay Rays’ recent acquisition of catcher Danny Jansen, a move that signals a major effort to upgrade behind the plate.

We dive into the details of Jansen’s one-year, $8.5 million deal (with a mutual option for a second season) and discuss why catcher has been a critical position of need for the Rays. Despite their overall success in recent years, Tampa Bay has ranked near the bottom of the league in offensive and defensive production from catchers.

We analyze Jansen’s offensive strengths, including his power-hitting potential and disciplined approach at the plate, as well as his stellar blocking skills and ability to handle left-handed pitching.

But is his injury history and inconsistency at the plate cause for concern? We weigh the pros and cons of the move and how Jansen might pair with Ben Rortvedt or Logan Driscoll to solidify the Rays’ catching core.

Rays President Matt Silverman Responds with a Letter | Locked On Rays

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Dec 2024 22:00:00 +0000

Rays President Matt Silverman responded to Pinellas county officials saying the 'deal is still in effect' contradicting their earlier stance by Brian Auld who said the 'deal is dead'. Rays response included a bolded statement: “We would not have gone forward with the project if a future Pinellas County Commission had the ability to revoke the approval we all celebrated in July or to unilaterally delay the project’s completion into 2029.” Rays fans and the baseball world are now watching a standoff—None of those parties (County Commission, St. Pete City Council, Rays) want to be responsible for pulling the plug on plans to build the Historic Gas Plant District anchored by a ballpark, an overall $6.5 billion development. What do you think will happen? How did the letter sway your opinion? Let us know in the comments.
