Rays News
- Juan Toribio with his daily dose of excellence, looking at how the rule changes that Ken Rosenthal reported could potentially impact the Rays.
- As a big Premier League Fan, I must say I’m surprised the ex-manager of Liverpool is really getting Wander Franco comparisons, but hey, I trust you BP. (This is a joke.)

- The Rays have re-signed minor league free agent OF Jason Coats
Around the League
- Realmuto finally moved... to Philly
- In conjunction with their PECOTA release, BP has plenty of good articles, venturing from the zoomed-out view of the team projections, the all-free agents team that has a couple sexy studs this year, and the names that are sure to make you do a double take. Also worthwhile is this read of why PECOTA is a little more aggressive this year.
- The DH is not coming... yet
- Frank Robinson, Hall of Famer and MLB’s first black manager, has passed
As incredibly tough as Robinson was, former #Orioles man Rick Vaughn eventually got close enough to get a peek at his softer side, and it was something to see https://t.co/iomda58K2A

- Nate Karns returns to the AL East with a major league deal for the Orioles; Matt Joyce has a deal with the Indians
