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 discuss the Tampa Bay Rays shocking the baseball world by trading for perennial All-Star slugger Nelson Cruz. How does Cruz change the complexion of the offense? Did the Rays give up too much in pitching prospects Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman? Are more trade deadline moves on the horizon for the franchise? We discuss all that, and more, plus some baseball trivia.
