Latest blog entries from Tampa Bay teams across every league
Introduction In the latest example of the linear passage of time, it’s already the halfway point of the baseball season as the D-Backs played their 81st game today in their loss against the Rays. This first half of the season has featured some high highs and some even lower lows. It’s also continued the mystifying […]
Somewhere in another baseball universe, the Arizona Diamondbacks challenge a called ball, and it gets overturned as strike three. Junior Caminero walks back to the dugout, shaking his head, and Friday night’s game unfolds a little differently. That is not the universe the Tampa Bay Rays played in on Friday night. Instead of Diamondbacks catcher […]
Game Summary Impressive was the word that Steve Berthiaume kept coming back to when describing Zac Gallen’s start tonight. Can’t say many Diamondbacks fans would agree with that assessment; the ‘Pit sure wasn’t buying it. To be fair, Zac Gallen had one of his best in-game stretches of the season, setting down 15 straight at […]
TAMPA BAY — It wasn’t a question of if, but when Arizona Diamondbacks star Corbin Carroll would break the franchise record for triples. On Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays, he did just that. Carroll has been known for his speed since making his major league debut in 2022, combining elite speed with power and […]
Go Rays!

C’mon on down and join us for tonight’s NHL festivities. There will be “A list” celebrities. There will be lives changed. There may even be a trade or two. There won’t be any Tampa Bay Lightning picks (probably). As long as our laptop battery holds up, we’ll cover each and every pick of the first round. No, we don’t have anything better to do on a Friday night. 7:00 – We’re live! The Lightning dropped a quick social media post while it sounds like Boston and Utah are working on a J.J. Pet...
Buccaneers Zac Robinson enters his first season as the Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator after having the same role with the Falcons in 2024 and 2025. Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield is confident that Robinson’s understanding of the running game will be a huge benefit to their offense. “This is not to downplay Josh Grizzard whatsoever because […] The post NFC Notes: Zac Robinson, Tyler Shough, Buccaneers, Falcons, Saints appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
According to PuckPedia, the Lightning have about $13 million in cap space this offseason with a full roster under contract.
Good news. Bad news. For every series preview, there is good news and there is bad news. The good news is that the Dutch easily qualified for the next round. Ah, wait. That is good news, but not related to this series. Let me try again: the good news is that the Diamondbacks just had […]
Well, at least we won’t have to write any more Alex Tuch profiles in the near future. After speculating that the big winger could be a trade deadline acquisition in 2025, and a possible free agent signing this summer, things went in a different direction as the Buffalo Sabres signed the 30-year-old to an 8-year, $84 million contract before trading him to the Washington Capitals for a third-round pick and David Kampf. With that move, the top forward was erased from the top of free agent bo...
The Yankees lost some ground in the American League East on Thursday. A tough loss in Fenway, combined with a dominant win by the Rays brings New York’s division lead down to 2.5 games. The day’s short schedule still provided plenty of pop, excellent pitching, and plenty to pay attention to around the American League. […]
Yesterday’s game was no fun at all. Let’s pretend that didn’t happen. Earlier this week, Seth Lugo hit a major milestone. Jaylon Thompson writes about his career arc: Prior to the club’s series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, Lugo was recognized for his 10 years of Major League Baseball service time. […]

In the words of NFL.com reporter/analyst Eric Edholm, the Baker Mayfield contract squabble is nothing more than “fluff” to give folks something to talk about during the five or six weeks between underwear football season and the July start of […] The post Baker Mayfield The Best Option — Now appeared first on JoeBucsFan.com .

The Tampa Bay Rays have been one of the better stories in baseball, but their lineup has a glaring weakness that a division rival could solve. Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report predicted the Rays will trade for Baltimore Orioles outfielder Taylor Ward, calling the fit too obvious to ignore. Why Ward Fits Tampa Bay The Rays are getting a league-low 73 wRC+ from left field, an offensive black hole on an otherwise competitive roster. Ward sits at a 127 wRC+ this season, almost entirely th...
The Tampa Bay Rays narrowly missed out on their first combined no-hitter and second overall no-no in Thursday’s 13-2 win versus the Kansas City Royals, but they still accomplished a remarkable piece of history just the same. Kevin Cash’s ballclub became the first MLB team to carry a no-hit bid into the ninth inning while […] The post Rays make MLB history after near no-hit bid, with assist from Junior Caminero appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Buccaneers Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is entering the final year of his three-year contract. When asked about Mayfield, HC Todd Bowles said the quarterback has been “all about business” and doesn’t seem affected by his situation. “Baker’s business, he’s all about business. The contract stuff takes care of itself,” Bowles said via Rick Stroud of […] The post NFC Notes: Baker Mayfield, Taysom Hill, Buccaneers, Falcons, Saints appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .

Another week, another reminder that being a Rays fan means constantly screaming into the void about depth (I assume you saw Matz goes back to the IL) while the front office continues to do its best impression of a magician pulling rabbits out of hats. We threw up the latest Rays Reacts survey asking the […]
In an ugly display of baseball futility, the Royals dropped the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays, 13-2. The Rays, utilizing their bullpen for the entire game, didn’t allow a Royals hit until the ninth inning when Carter Jensen hit a two-run home run, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. There really isn’t […]
The Tampa Bay Rays were a hit away from throwing a no-hitter early on Thursday. A combined no-hitter is not as fun, but it is still an impressive feat that hardly ever happens. After throwing eight no-hit innings thanks to a great opening from Casey Legumina and outing from Ian Seymour, longtime reliever Craig Kimbrel […] The post Rays’ Craig Kimbrel gets absolutely roasted after blowing no-hitter vs. Royals appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Rays were looking to wrap up their four-game homestand against the Royals with a split series, and they would have to do it bright and early, so hopefully they all had their coffee before the game. The Rays had Casey Legumina in an Opener role on the mound, up against Seth Lugo for the […]
The Tampa Bay Rays were one inning away from their second no-hitter in franchise history.
