Locked On Rays- Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Rays

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano are joined by Channel 10 Tampa Bay WTSP sports director Evan Closky to breakdown ace pitcher Tyler Glasnow's future with the Tampa Bay Rays and why it didn't make much sense for the Rays to add a top-flight starter at this year's trade deadline (i.e. acquiring Jose Berrios). Baseball trivia, also.

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano discuss the Tampa Bay Rays narrow 4-3 home win over the Seattle Mariners to avoid the season series sweep, which included clutch hitting from Randy Arozarena and Mike Zunino, plus a solid outing from lefty Josh Fleming and the bullpen.

They also answer a listener question about why the Rays have so many pitching injuries, then double-down that Tyler Glasnow will not throw another meaningful pitch in a Rays uniform.

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano dig in to why the Tampa Bay Rays continue to struggle against the Seattle Mariners, and why the team's defense has faltered since the All-Star break. Additionally, they discuss the likelihood of ace Tyler Glasnow pitching again for Rays--following reports the team tried to trade him to the Chicago Cubs. Is it possible Glasnow has thrown his last meaningful pitch in a Rays uniform?

Also, shoutout to listener Chris Worthen for sending us a voice memo. We encourage all Locked On Rays listeners to do so as well, e-mailing [email protected]

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano recap the Tampa Bay Rays 8-2 clunker at home against the Seattle Mariners--marking the franchise's fifth consecutive loss against Seattle.

They also discuss the possibility of the Rays winning upwards of 97 games this year (thanks to a prop bet from listener Jesus Colon) and look back at the career of former Rays high-leverage reliever Diego Castillo, who was given a proper send-off at the Trop, upon the deadline trade to the Mariners.

Also, special shoutout to listener Cheryl for inviting us to last night's ballgame (despite the loss.)

In this episode of the Locked On Rays podcast, hosts Kevin Weiss and Ulises Sambrano discuss the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays fantastic weekend at Tropicana--which included a sweep of the Boston Red Sox and some breakout performances, led by none other than rookie sensation Wander Franco. They also discuss the disappointment among the Rays fanbase that that team didn't do more at the July 30 trade deadline, besides acquiring Nelson Cruz. Also, the Seattle Mariners (and ex-Rays Diego Castillo) come to town this weekend.

We also get Nash's take on the trade return of upper-level minors pitchers Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman, as well as his thoughts on Twins manager Rocco Baldelli, of course, the distinguished former Ray and Devil Ray.
