Time to bring back 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: JP Howell. Where would the pitching staff be right now without JP Howell’s recent work. In his last 12 appearances, [...]

Time to bring back the GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. No GBT or Sunburst today but wanted to take a moment to point out that the Rays are now one game over [...]

Chad Bradford [Update 2:04pm] We just spoke with the Rays front office and they confirmed that the Rays paid the O’s the standard $20K waiver claim fee for Bradford. This means that even though the Orioles pulled Bradford back from waivers and traded him to the Rays for a player [...]
