Rays Your Voice: Rays sign Eloy Jimenez

Jan 7, 2025 | draysbay.com | Brett Rutherford

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images It’s our first episode of 2025! We discuss the signing of Eloy Jimenez and try and figure out how he figures into the roster plans. We’re a little over a month away from Spring Training, but are the Rays done making moves? Never say never, but the roster looks just about finalized. We finish the show discussing the most recent news regarding Tropicana Field, after the Rays have made it clear they wish to see it repaired.
Rays Your Voice: Winter Meetings Update

Dec 11, 2024 | draysbay.com | Brett Rutherford

Tim Heitman-Imagn Images On this week’s episode, we catch you up on the moves made thus far by the Rays front office, and discuss the work they still have to do. The catcher position seems done, after signing Danny Jansen to a one-year, $8.5 million contract (with a mutual option for a second). The Rays have also traded Jose Siri which points to Jonny DeLuca becoming the primary centerfielder, but it seems like the Rays are positioned to add to their outfield depth.

When Hurricane Milton ripped the roof of Tropicana Field, everything we knew about this stadium deal was blown away.
Rays Your Voice: Offseason goals to improve the offense

Nov 11, 2024 | draysbay.com | Brett Rutherford

John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images On the newest episode of Rays Your Voice, we take a look at some external options the Rays might pursue to upgrade a historically bad offense in 2024. The three positions mentioned specifically by Erik Neander were catcher, shortstop, and center field. Alex Jackson was DFA late last season and has since landed with Cincinnati, so that’s one opening to fill. We discuss names such as Danny Jansen, Max Stassi, and former Ray Travis d’Arnaud as potential targets.
Autopsy of the 2024 Season

Oct 8, 2024 | bvmsports.com | Brett Rutherford

Now that the regular season has concluded and the postseason has begun without the Rays for the first time since 2018, it's time to perform the autopsy on the 2024 season. In this episode, we discuss all of the offseason moves made last offseason and the impact they had on the 2024 team. We try to decipher which decisions came from bad processes, and which were justified but ended with bad results.
Rays 0, Guardians 2: Offense flounders again in series finale

Sep 16, 2024 | draysbay.com | Brett Rutherford

Ken Blaze-Imagn Images The Rays entered Sunday looking for a series win against the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians. Taj Bradley took the mound and went up against Ben Lively. Jonathan Aranda moved into the cleanup spot and was back at first base after a day off against a left-handed pitcher on Saturday.
Astros 6, Rays 1

Aug 12, 2024 | bvmsports.com | Brett Rutherford

Two starters that have experienced some dominant summers took the hill in the opener between the Astros and Rays. One looked much sharper than the others. Valdez was coming off a near no-hitter against the Rangers. Despite a slow start to the season, he has once again proven to be one of the most productive pitchers in the league. Bradley had a forgettable start in his last outing against Baltimore but is still fresh off winning the July American League Pitcher of the Month award.

Rays 4, Reds 3: Strong Littell start puts Rays back above .500

Jul 27, 2024 | draysbay.com | Brett Rutherford

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports Note: At the time of writing, Pete Fairbanks is still a Tampa Bay Ray. I hope my weekend is not ruined by seeing him in pinstripes on his bobblehead day tomorrow. We are now a full day removed from the trades of Randy Arozarena and Zach Eflin, and after losing the series opener to Cincinnati, another loss today would not help the vibes in the slightest. Zack Littell took the hill for the Rays and was opposed by lefty Andrew Abbott.
