Rick Stroud spoke to Warren Sapp about Gerald McCoy's stance about the Bucs giving out his #93 the year after they cut him as Sapp says his number shouldn't be off limits as he didn't win anything in Tampa Bay. The Rays lose the final game of their road trip to the Padres but overall go 5-1 but they lost OF Avasail Garcia to an oblique strain which makes him the 23rd Rays player to go on the Injured List this season. The Lightning have traded Restricted Free Agent Adam Erne to the Red Wings for a 4th round draft pick as that frees up some salary cap space and creates an opening for a young player to make the team.

Rick Stroud breaks down the good, the bad and the ugly from the Buccaneers first preseason game in Pittsburgh including what head coach Bruce Arians called the 'perfect drive' to open the game for Jameis Winston and the offense.
