Tim Beckham The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. THE GOOD: James Shields. “Big Blast” Shields pitched 3 innings. That is good because apparently he wasn’t in the game long enough to [...]
Of the players picked up in the Matt Garza trade, Robinson Chirinos is the toast of Spring Training as he may be the closest to the big leagues and fills what may be a bigger need, catcher. So it is easy to forget that the gem of the trade was [...]
Well, we can breath a sigh of relief for now. It is not Stuart Sternberg. But one of the Rays minority owners, Randy Frankel, has been confirmed by the New York Times as being part of an investment group that wants to purchase a minority stake in the New York [...]
