How sweep it is: Rays 2, Blue Jays 0
Is this hell? No, this is Tropicana Field.  That might be what the Toronto Blue Jays think of The Trop.  Since 2021, the Jays have a .655 OPS and a 10-22 record under the tilted roof at One Tropicana Drive, and losers of 10 of the last 12.  Even the Blue Jays, biggest podcast, Gate […]

Rays 'setting the bar really high for themselves' with perfect homestand

One prospect with closer potential from each organization
The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million
