Noteworthiness
- “The Rays are facing an uphill battle to keep their franchise relevant in a market that may not truly be a big-league market,” writes Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors. He went on, “Those who don’t sign extensions, after all, will see their price tags soar in arbitration at an ever-increasing rate, and offense is only getting more expensive. As such, the Rays’ lack of revenue — the team drew just 1.446MM fans this season — is a significant concern.”
- Evan Longoria has played in 239 straight games, the second longest active streak behind Hunter Pence (380).
- After going a team record 94 games without allowing double-digit runs, the Rays have done so three times in last four games.
