Rays Links:

• Neil Solondz offers up his notes on yesterday’s game with audio from Jake Odorizzi, Steve Pearce, and Kevin Cash.
• Alex Cobb threw his first live batting practice this past weekend, and although he looked very sharp, we’ll still have a long wait until he graces the mound in a major league game.
• Marc Topkin looks at a super ‘what if’ scenario, seeing who the Rays could have chosen in the past with Clayton Kershaw, Jose Bautista, and...uhm...Chris Gomez making appearances. Plus, news on a potential Carl Crawford reunion
• Looking back at Friday night and the Rays incredible tribute, honoring the victims in Orlando.
• Great news though, after being designated for assignment, the Rays have retained Dana Eveland and outrighted him to Triple A Durham.

Ugh...

Around the League:

• The Cubs are not interested parting ways with Kyle Schwarber anytime soon
• The Giants are surging and it’s an even year so they’ll likely be buyers at the deadline. Currently, they’re in heavy pursuit of relievers and outfielders
• Unless you were like me last night, you probably realized one of the most anticipated basketball games in history took place...and now you can relive it through some MLB players live tweeting it.
