If there’s some sort of goofy top-20 list of Rays greatest victories, Monday’s dramatic comeback urination on the Yankees has to get strong consideration. Talk about a game that looked lost, with David Price getting abused and the Rays down 5-1 off a weekend of very quiet hitting. Just Curtis Granderson’s long [...]
So much for the Indians being dominant at home. Now they’re just another team on their own turf that couldn’t handle the alone-in-first-place Rays. The ridiculous run by the good guys now moves to 21-7, after today’s rubber game saw the Rays deliver another hit parade and land on the right [...]
Wow. Joe never expected Jeff Niemann to lay a big Easter egg thus far this season. And frankly, Joe never expected the return of Big Game Shields. If Big Game Shields continues to pitch like he has lately, we can all put his old nasty moniker away. Last year, Shields [...]
Well, it was a little too close for comfort, but the reason Joe loves the Rays this year shined in this game. * Ace David Price continued his dominance over the Jays, throwing a strong eight innings (Joe will try to forget that ninth inning… with the help of some [...]

The Rays have a couple of positions up for grabs this spring, and maybe foremost among those will be finding a new closer. With both Rafael Soriano and Joaquin Benoit gone, and Jake McGee still a work-in-progress, the position is up for grabs, and may go unclaimed. The Rays did sign [...]
The Blue Jays today announced the signing of Jon Rauch to a one-year, $3.5 million contract with an option year. The Rays had reportedly shown interest in Rauch. It is also worth noting that Rauch’s contract is almost identical to that of Kyle Farnsworth. [MLB Trade Rumors]

Because according to Buster Olney, the Rays have signed the white, relief pitcher version of Jackson, Kyle Farnsworth, two a one-year deal worth $3.25 million.
