Tampa City Council members Charlie Miranda, Guido Maniscalco and Lynn Hurtak voted no on Rays MOU. Remember those names come re-election time.

[Kevin ODonnell @KevODonnellFLA]

View of the many that sit on Tampa City Council is that they’re short sighted & small minded. What would Tampa be without the Bucs & Lightning? A cow town that it used to be. Instead Tampa is one of the most desired cities in the country. Professional sports is a huge reason why.

Successfully running a first and third double steal at the major league level goes so hard.

Rays are small ball aurafarming at this point.

Is @PFTCommenter color blind?

I was totally in shock. Thank y’all for being so cool. @PardonMyTake @PFTCommenter @BarstoolBigCat @hen_ease @TwistedTea

Rays are the best team in baseball

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

This fucking sucks.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

There’s something special happening in St. Pete.

The Rays are LEGIT. They put pressure on a defense by putting the ball in play, have a starting rotation that rivals anybody else’s in the sport and they’re 16-5 at The Trop. Thoughts on the top team in the AL for @NBCSports:

Pep Guardiola is the first manager in English football history to do the domestic cup double, twice.

◎ 2018/19
🏆 EFL Cup
🏆 FA Cup

◉ 2025/26
🏆 EFL Cup
🏆 FA Cup

So nice, he had to do it twice.😍

[Kansas Baseball @KUBaseball]

It just feels right 🏆

[Trevor Bauer (トレバー・バウアー) @BauerOutage]

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.

If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.

You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.

What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
