Rays Reacts Results: Boy do I have good news for you!

A happy surprise.

This week, I tried to have some fun with the Rays Reacts sponsorship from FanDuel and simply ask: who was robbed the most by not getting an All-Star nod?

Here there was a clear favorite: Junior Caminero, and his plight would be rectified quickly — both as being named an injury replacement for Alex Bregman, and being elevated to the American League starter at third base after Jose Ramirez dropped out of the midsummer classic —...

Cardinals Potential Deadline Suitor for Rays Starting Pitcher

The St. Louis Cardinals are a potential suitor for Tampa Bay Rays Taj Bradley at the upcoming Trade Deadline. A report by ESPN Insider Jeff Passan linked the 24-year-old right-handed starting pitcher to the Cardinals.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Rays 3, Red Sox 4

Eric Canha-Imagn Images

The Rays front office is obviously concerned with the ineffectiveness of the bullpen because they went out today and traded a draft pick to the Orioles for righty Bryan Baker.

And in his first outing as a Ray, Baker promptly gave up three runs and the lead.

Cue the “he fits right in” jokes.

The three run inning and the loss are really a shame because this would have been a nice win.

It would have been nice to get a game up on a division and Wild Card...

ninety-three games down, sixty-nine to go.

The Tampa Bay Rays managed to stave off a series sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers and must now pivot their attention to the Boston Red Sox as they head to BeanTown for a pivotal four game set.

After a prolonged stretch as the best team in baseball, the Rays have been floundering having dropped their past four series in a row. Despite that, the Rays are seven games over .500...

Rays Acquire Reliever in Trade With Division Rivals

Ryan Pepiot Is Proving the Rays Targeted the Right Dodger Arm

The Tampa Bay Rays rarely fail to return value from a trade in which they sell off a veteran on an expiring contract. President of Baseball Operations Erik Neander and his team in the Rays’ front office are among baseball’s best at identifying young talent and setting them up for success in the big leagues.

Player of the Series: Jonathan Aranda

For the first time this season, Aranda is our Player of the Series

Jonathan Aranda has been the Rays best player this season.

However, throughout the first 29 series of the season, there has always been at least one player to overshadow his contributions during that particular 3 or 4 game series. Well, that wasn’t the case during the Rays three games in Detroit.

On Monday, Aranda provided the Rays with their lone run when he singled home Taylor...

Rays young star on pace to set dubious record

Junior Caminero has developed into one of the key pieces of the Rays' lineup, but is on pace to set a dubious record.

In need of bullpen help, the Rays turned to a division rival

The Tampa Bay Rays are acquiring RHP Bryan Baker from the Baltimore Orioles per a report from Robert Murray.

Thus far in 2025, Baker has a 3.52 ERA | 3.95 FIP with a 32.5 K% & 6.0 BB% over 38 1?3 IP.

Baker, 30, was originally selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 11th round of the 2016 draft. The Toronto Blue Jays picked him as the player to be named later in the trade that sent Seunghwan...

And avoid a series sweep

The finale of the Rays/Tigers series was bumped back by the threat of rain, and when things finally did get started this evening, it seemed like stormy weather was behind us. However, this game proved to be its own bit of cloudy skies at times thanks to those pesky Tigers doing what they do. And then it was sunny skies. Zack Littell was on the mound for the Rays, up against Reese Olson for the Tigers, who only recently returned to the team...

Baseball America has updated their top 30 Rays prospects

Not so rosy an outlook for the system ahead of the 2025 MLB draft.

We are more than halfway through the regular season and with that, Baseball America has updated their top 100 prospects in the game and their top 30 prospects within each team’s system.

The entire list is behind a paywall, but I will highlight the top 10 as well as some of the notable placements plus the highest risers and steepest falls on the rankings.

We’ll have all the coverage you need here, starting with this article.

The Tampa Bay Rays are primed for another big draft for 2025, with six picks on Day 1 of the MLB Draft on Sunday Night: the team’s four standard picks through the first three rounds (with none surrendered in penalties for signing top free agents, duh), plus one as compensation for an undrafted player from 2024, and another acquired in an off-season trade of...

Edwin Uceta nearly tightropes out of the seventh before a Colt Keith two-run homer

There’s no way to sugarcoat it. The Rays bullpen is struggling mightily as of late.

Ryan Pepiot delivered, tossing six innings of two-run baseball while striking out six to keep Tampa Bay in the fight.

Or so we thought.

Edwin Uceta came in relief in the seventh, and with two outs and a runner on third base, Colt Keith delivered the proverbial dagger into the Rays’ eighth...
