AIDAN CREMAROSA SPINS A NO-HITTER ‼️

The @RaysBaseball prospect goes the distance, striking out 11 batters for the second no-no in @ChasRiverDogs history!

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

So very well said @jorge_moncada84. We are so fortunate to have known Dog and to have been his teammate and part of his baseball family. Forever his brothers of the yard!

My brotheeeeeer of the bump! One of a kind, no habrá otro “Dog”! Muchos fuimos los privilegiados de compartir y aprender de esta leyenda, descansa en paz/RIP 🙏🏽

Chandler Simpson loves to Play Fast ⚡️

The @RaysBaseball prospect is the first Minor or Major League player to steal 100+ bases since Billy Hamilton in 2012.

Gray Sox win!

Biscuits take down the Barons 6-5 to conclude a very special day at Rickwood Field.

Rest in peace to the legend, Willie Mays.

An in-game tribute to Willie Mays at the MiLB at Rickwood game. 🧡🖤

Inspiring — @Delta chartering a free flight for 40 WWII vets to Normandy for the 79th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Honored to meet 2 this morning. Can’t imagine the things they experienced defending our freedoms. Touching send-off here from @CLEpolice Pipes and Drums.

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

Incredibly proud of our staff. Major kudos to our clubbies. #RaysUp

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

As ST comes to a close, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of our clubhouse crew & PD staff helping our players and equipment move from Port Charlotte—>the Trop—>ESPN Wide World of Sports—>Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota. What a ride! #RaysUp

[Tampa Bay Rays @RaysBaseball]

The Tampa Bay Rays are deeply saddened to announce the passing of longtime radio announcer Dave Wills.

A beloved figure throughout the Tampa Bay community and Major League Baseball, he will be missed dearly.

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

It’s International Signing Day! We can’t wait to get to work with this new group. ¡Bienvenidos muchachos!

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

@stevennelkovski @PerthHeat @RaysBaseball Excited for the group to arrive and compete!

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

Congrats to our pitching coordinator turned bullpen coach! Proud of you, Monky!

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

After a heavy week for all of us in Florida after Hurricane Ian, something to smile about. Proud of our group, the 2022 Triple-A National Champion @DurhamBulls. #RaysUp

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

Back to back has a nice ring to it!

Congrats to our @BGHotRods on winning their second consecutive South Atlantic League Championship! 💍💍

[Minor League Baseball @MiLB]

One good championship deserves another!

The #RaysBaseball Single-A affiliate didn't lose a game in the postseason en route to the Carolina League crown: https://t.co/mcNV7EDTtE

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

TWICE AS NICE! Congrats to the @ChasRiverDogs for earning their second consecutive Carolina League Championship!!!

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

Really cool para la gente. #RaysUp

[MLB @MLB]

History on Roberto Clemente Day!

The Rays starting lineup featured all Latin American-born players, the first time in MLB history.

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

We often talk about winning as a byproduct of proper development. While a ring would’ve been nice, very proud of the individual development victories that led to our FCL club’s shared success. Hat tip to @NYYPlayerDev for a hard-fought Championship series, especially Games 2 & 3!

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

Congratulations to the FCL Rays on a stellar season!

This season they had a 39-16 (.709) record, 23-4 (.852), +144 run differential, and only 200 runs allowed. These metrics all rank first in all of FCL. Very proud of our guys at the complex!

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

Two familiar faces in the starting lineup of this year’s Futures Game 👀

Get to know RHP and Futures Game starter, @TajBradley!

[George C. Pappas @PappasGC]

Why we do what we do. #RaysUp

[Rays Player Development @RaysPlayerDev]

Not all players have the same developmental journey, and Cristofer Ogando is the perfect example of that. After signing as an international free agent at the start of 2013 and then being released at the end of that same season, Ogando did not give up on the dream.
