Director of Athletics, @tsceagles

[Brett Rutherford @bgrutherford99]

Incredibly excited for this opportunity to return to TSC, where I got my start in college athletics. Forever grateful to Wake Tech for the last few years, and still work to do before I depart.

While I'm trading shades of blue and gold once again, I can still say this: GO EAGLES!

[Tallahassee State College Athletics @TSCeagles]

A new era of Eagles Athletics starts now! 🦅‼️

Please join us in welcoming Brett Rutherford as our new Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation!

Bread from La Segunda is always the difference maker.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

In the spirit of the Rays and Marlins meeting on the diamond this weekend, Tropicana Field decided to showcase another rivalry: The Battle of the Cubano Sandwiches!

Tampa Bay vs. Miami. Two slightly different sandwiches. Who was crowned champion? Tried them both!

Ben should dunk on me every chance he gets about Ryan Vilade.

[Ben Whitelaw @benwhitelaw73]

This guy is an idiot! Why would he think some Vilade guy could be good???

[Brett Rutherford @bgrutherford99]

It seems as if Taj Bradley did not read Junior's scouting report

[Brett Rutherford @bgrutherford99]

This post also leaves off the acquisition of Caminero, Diaz, Rasmussen, Pepiot, etc ALL of which were acquired via trade.

[Brett Rutherford @bgrutherford99]

Okay, sure. Some of these you’d like to have back. But if you keep Manzardo and Paredes, there’s no room for Diaz, Aranda, and Caminero in the same lineup.

Edwards was traded when you had Franco at short and BLowe locked up long term at second.

Trades don’t happen in a vacuum.

[TB_SportsGuru @TB_SportsGuru]

Just SOME of the players Erik Neander #Rays has traded away since the end of the 2022 season:

Xavier Edwards - career .301 hitter with 65 SB's
Kyle Manzardo - 27 HR's in 2025
Tyler Glasnow - 3.36 ERA with LA (1.69 in postseason)
Luke Raley - 9th in MLB in OPS this season
Amed Rosario - 9th in MLB xSLG this season
Jason Adam - 75 Holds and 1.69 ERA with SD
Isaac Paredes - 20 HR's in 2025
Randy Arozarena - 28 HR's and 36 SB's in 2025
Jeffrey Springs - 3-0 & 1.46 ERA 0.77 WHIP this season
Jose Caballero - 49 SB's led MLB in 2025, 9 in 2026
Taj Bradley - 3-0 & 1.63 ERA this season
Shane Baz - signed 5 year, $68M extension with BAL
Brandon Lowe - 7 HR's (T-4th) & 13th in OPS

And don't forget he traded Joe Ryan to the Twins in July of 2021 who has 48 wins, a 1.06 WHIP and 10.1K/9 in 4+ seasons there

And what have the Rays gotten in return? ONE post-season run scored and a farm system that has ZERO Top 50 prospects. Erik Neadender gets the benefit of the doubt his predecessors got, without having earned it himself. @957WDAE @JPPetersonshow @iAmNickWize @RaysTheRoofTB @RaysBaseball

@MichaelDanger19 Mike and Urban are a threat. They’ve won this event together before.
