TAMPA — If Tropicana Field had a chimney — or a roof — there would be white smoke this morning. Finally, officially, thankfully, the Rays are for sale. This is not simply good news, it is necessary news if you want the Rays to remain in Tampa Bay beyond the next few years. Because we are at the point in this decades-long saga where two things are abundantly clear:1. The team needs to build a new stadium in a hurry. 2. There will be no public money for Stuart Sternberg to build one.

TAMPA, Fla. - You would think, by now, they would know better. After years and years of watching the Rays off-load contracts, stars and malcontents, you would hope the Red Sox would have handled the Rafael Devers situation with a little more grace. Instead, New England is in an uproar and BoSox officials are sounding defensive. The team managed to look cheap, vindictive and clueless while making a trade that, in reality, could turn out to be a positive for the Red Sox.
