Rays GM Erik Neander and Brewers GM Matt Arnold built World Series rosters like this…
Tampa Bay: 16 from trades, 3 developed from the draft, 5 free agent signings
Milwaukee: 15 from trades, 7 developed from the draft, 1 agent signing
Lesson learned: trade your ass off.
This World Series is just the 3rd Fall Classic where every game is hosted in a venue with a roof + the 1st time in history every game will be played completely indoors.
2020: Globe Life Field
2023: Chase Field + Globe Life
2026: American Family Field & Tropicana Field
Dome field advantage.
So refreshing to see two teams that have never won a World Series battle it out.
After this Rays-Brewers series, only 4 MLB franchises will be ringless... way fewer than any other major sport.
NFL: 12 have never won
NBA: 10 have never won
NHL: 10 have never won
Teams that have never won…
MLB: Rays, Brewers, Rockies, Padres, Mariners
NFL: Cardinals, Vikings, Chargers, Bengals, Bills, Falcons, Texans, Panthers, Lions, Browns, Titans, Jaguars
NBA: Clippers, Grizzlies, Magic, Suns, Timberwolves, Hornets, Pacers, Jazz, Nets, Pelicans
NHL: Blue Jackets, Sharks, Predators, Sabres, Senators, Jets, Canucks, Wild, Kraken, Mammoth
Preseason World Series odds:
Brewers: 3%
Rays: 1%
So how’d they do it?
Batting Average: 1st in AL & NL
On-Base %: 1st in AL & NL
Stolen Bases: 1st in AL & NL
Lowest K% in the league (TB)
In an era obsessed with launching homers, the Rays and Brewers proved you can still win by putting the ball in play and playing real baseball.
Best part about the Rays being in the World Series is that their Devil Rays uniforms will be on full display.
Tampa Bay just ditched their old sunburst uniforms in the postseason for the most part and they couldn’t look better. Clearly rebranding back 🔥

Show this video to the people that say the Rays have no fans.
Tropicana Field was rocking last night. One of the best atmosphere’s that I’ve been a part of. Tampa Bay showed out.

Incredible news for the rest of the league. The Yankees will continue to be mid 🙌
Aaron Boone is returning as Yankees manager next season, a source confirmed to ESPN. @pcaldera was on the news.
I still can’t believe the Guardians changed their name to that.
It’s quite possibly the worst name in sports.
First pitch for ALCS Game 4 in Cleveland will be 46 degrees tonight.
But yeah… real smart move starting the game at 8pm on a Saturday. No need for a day game. That would make too much sense.
Field wasn't ready after the rain? Right... definitely didn't have anything to do with Cleveland needing a bullpen game today.
Masterclass from the grounds crew.
I’m really glad the Brewers made it to the postseason so the world can see one of the best logos in sports on display.
I love this logo.
They’ve developed some good players, but the Dodgers not 3-peating with that roster is embarrassing.
• Dave Roberts failed with an NL All-Star team
• Front office deferred millions just to win 3 postseason games
• Swept by a team spending $193M less
Hard to look at that as anything other than a huge collapse.
