Tampa Bay Rays: Current Outlook
Switching gears, Trisha shared her thoughts on the Tampa Bay Rays, a team she covered closely for six years. With uncertainty surrounding player transactions and a tumultuous stadium situation in St. Petersburg, the conversation highlighted the challenges faced by Rays fans.
Trisha emphasized the significant role that leadership plays in a clubhouse, especially after the departure of key players like Kevin Kiermaier. The Rays have made strides by acquiring players like Danny Jansen to stabilize their roster as they enter a new season. Despite her reservations about their hitting, Trisha remains hopeful about the potential for a successful season, even predicting the team might be a wildcard contender.
