Remember they are in a division with 3 VERY popular teams whose fan bases often retire to the Tampa area...so they show 54 games featuring the Red Sox, Yanks and O’s...they use those games as the centerpieces for ad packages that fill in the rest of the schedule.

By the way, the Rays 2017 opening day payroll of $70M ranked 29th in MLB last year. Their highest opening day payroll ever was $77M in 2014.

“We small-market teams need revenue sharing to be competitive!”

Yeah Bonds was straight garbage after he juiced up.

Derek Jeter is setting a great example for the rest of Florida by attempting to purge the Marlins of every arm they’ve got.

I didn’t get into it, but I feel pretty confident that he was going to say that we’d be giving up our patriotic right to overthrow a tyrannical government.
