Gregory Rhodes
We're looking at the Tampa Bay Rays, stitch by stitch. The players, the coaches, the stadium, and the numbers behind the most exciting sabermetric team in baseball.
Reportedly, a portion of the agreed upon sections of the labor agreement between MLB and the MLBPA includes removing the shift by 2023. If this remains, we could see the end of an era of defense that was unprecedented in the league. And while it has it's defenders and detractors, including myself, the shift has served some teams very well. Including the focus of my podcast Stitch By Stitch where we take a deep dive into Rays baseball. With the season delyed, so is the podcast but in the meantime enjoy a cut from an episode last season where I talk about the effects of the shift and how much it has changed the league.
A recap of the final standings, what to expect from the Rays pitching staff this postseason, and what about the Sister-City plan?
A review of the last week in Rays baseball, including some major transactions. Then, a look at the history of the shift and some possible changes to come.
A quick review of the first half of the season, potential moves the team could make before the trade deadline, and a celebration of our All-Stars
