-What other Locked On Podcast Network hosts are saying about who's the Rays 'face of the franchise'

-MLB.com's newly updated top 100 prospects list

-Who'd you rather face in a playoff series--the Boston Red Sox or the New York Yankees?

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises discuss the Tampa Bay Rays disastrous 20-8 loss at the hands of the Boston Red Sox, which lefty Josh Fleming had one of the worst outings for a starter in Rays history. Is this just one bad start, or is there something more to his persistent road struggles. They also answer a listener question about why Joey Wendle and Brandon Lowe have made so many errors as of late. Also, hard-throwing righty Drew Rasmussen makes his first traditional start for the Rays.

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano preview this week's critical series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, which could set the tone for the AL East standings and ensuing playoff race.

They're then joined by Locked On MLB Prospects host Aram Leighton to get an update on the Rays farm system--what new team prospect Austin Shenton brings to the table (acquired from the Seattle Mariners in the Diego Castillo deal); best MLB prospects that changed hands at the trade deadline; and why the Rays weren't willing to part with either Wander Franco, Taylor Walls, Vidal Brujan, Josh Lowe, or Shane Baz to acquire a big-name at the deadline (i.e. Kris Bryant, Craig Kimbrel).

NOTE: Part 2 of this interview will air Aug. 11.
