Not knowing that a second mound visit in a single inning means you must make a pitching change should be disqualifying from winning Manager of the Year.
The AL Manager of the Year is Will Venable of the @WhiteSox!

Fun fact on Jeff Purinton. He was FSU’s SID when 28-year-old Chris Weinke won the Heisman Trophy. They were also roommates, perhaps the only time the SID and Heisman winner lived together.
Sources: Florida State is targeting Jeff Purinton as the school’s next athletic director. He’s the former athletic director at Arkansas State, a longtime atheltics staff member at Alabama and a Florida State alum who worked there early in his career.

I had a Tampa politician tell me once that because the #Rays played in St. Petersburg, to them “the [#Yankees] are the home team.”
This attitude is why baseball will always struggle in Tampa The Rays could build baseball’s greatest modern stadium in the perfect location and 25%+ of the regional fanbase will still be loyal to the Yankees

Absolutely wild.
Replying to @d_russ
Brother as a rays fan somce day 1, i am loyal to the yanks too. See back when they wanted to expand the mlb to tampa is was old man Steinbrenner that led that fight. In reality we have the Yankees to thank for bringing the rays here. Dont get me wrong, on the field i loathe them. But as an organization, i respect them for what they've done FOR tampa sports.

Yankees have an agreement to stay in Tampa through 2046. No one has done more for Tampa than the Yankees. I don’t see a high school named after a Rays owner. George M. Steinbrenner High School. Good man. Good family. They love Tampa.

This is so awful. Duce came back to try and resurrect @FSUFootball and could have been a 1st round pick! He has been the most loyal Seminole and Norvell and the program failed him! I pray he can fully recover and get back in the 1st round!! Good luck Duce and thanks for your incredible loyalty and commitment to FSU!
Sources: Florida State star wide receiver Duce Robinson will miss the remainder of the season, as he suffered a torn ACL against Clemson. He leads FSU with 438 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.

Disney has the chance to do the funniest thing here.
Jared Bush teases the introduction of birds in ‘ZOOTOPIA 3’: “This may be the first time that we travel outside the bounds of Zootopia City itself.” (via collider.com/zootopia-3-stor…)

Today teams need to activate players off the 60-day IL & protect potential minor league free agents. The Rays 40-man roster is currently at 35, with Pepiot, Uceta, Melton & Heasley on the IL. RP Alexander Alberto is one of the most notable Rays prospects set to be a MiLB FA.

Sternberg would have traded his ass by Christmas. What will the new owners do?
#Rays have exercised Drew Rasmussen’s option for 2027 at $20 million.
