I am going to have to decide soon whether or not I still support the Rays and baseball all together. I can't keep doing this. After 18 years all I've learned is the rich get richer. I am glad for the new ballpark but I am sick of this poverty mindset with every decision the Rays make. They might as well just dump Shane too and be done with it. God knows if he earns $25 million he's gone anyway

You guys just say fuck it and trade the one guy on your rotation that didn't blow out his arm and get Tommy John surgery and makes $25 million too?

We have traded better pitching away over the last 10 years than anyone else. I don't think there is any question about that.

We will also throw in all-star shortstops who hit 30 HR and are in MVP discussions.



It's sickening for us to. Our payroll is 1/2 what it was in the fucking 90's. (without adjusting for inflation!)

Andrew Friedman to Matt Silverman: “Since you guys have no money and your fans don’t care about baseball, why don’t you send your best pitcher to us?”

Silverman: Sure. He’s yours.

I believe in the Rays formula. Glasnow came to the Rays as a secondary piece in the Chris Archer trade. The Rays got him, Austin Meadows AND Shane Baz for Chris Archer. Imagine that right. Glasnow developed into the guy he is today. It’s likely that trend will continue.

The Rays know what they’re doing in these deals. This trade is linked to Delmon Young.

25,000 is a sellout. Anything over 13,000 on a weekday and you're having a magnificent day. That's how bad it is

But we'll have more control over the new guys, so they'll be worth even more when we trade them away in 2029. Which then will give us a haul we can exploit in 2035.

Big picture, folks.

Well, that's promising.

I have been trying to maintain an "innocent until proven guilty" mindset with him - probably part fan reaction - but I've run out of steam. I'm now on board with "he's a sick fuck" until proven otherwise.

Why is this so ambiguous so far after the fact? Good grief. As much as we bitch about the American system of justice, at least it works.
