Nick Martinez!
What an offseason pickup for Tampa Bay ☀️
There aren't many more fun things to watch in baseball than Chandler Simpson busting it out of the box for a triple.
His 4th now on the season.
His 29.6 ft/sec sprint speed is in the 97th percentile and his 3.97 Home to 1st time is 1st in baseball.
Look at this man run.
Taitn Gray, after his 2 HR game yesterday, is now the only player in Minor League Baseball 18 YO or younger to have 5+ HR and a BB% over 18%
77.2% Contact% with a 163 wRC+ and a .978 OPS over 116 PA. + Power from both sides with + bat speed. The batted ball profile is awesome
The NBA mourns the passing of José Ortiz (1963-2026). Selected 15th overall in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz, José played parts of two seasons in the NBA, and played with Puerto Rico in four FIBA World Championships and four Olympic Games. We extend our deepest condolences to the Ortiz family.
The Rays are on fire!
- Six wins in a row!
- Ten straight wins at home!
- Thirteen consecutive games allowing 3 runs or fewer - a new franchise record!
