No, you're not reading the title of this episode wrong. Former Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim signed a two-year deal to play for the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this week and we got a chance to talk about it, plus all things Junior Caminero and Spring Training.

Yes folks, the stadium saga never ends as today, it looks like the Pinellas County Commission will vote on public funding for the Rays new stadium, which if approved, will hopefully have the stadium on track to be built...eventually?

We welcomed on Colleen Wright, St. Pete reporter for the Tampa Bay Times, to help lay down the ground work for what's expected to happen this afternoon!

We have a special treat ahead of this holiday season as Rays recent 40-man roster addition and International League 2024 batting champ Jake Mangum joined the podcast to talk about just about everything under the sun.

Jake was a fantastic guest and hopefully the first of many Rays players and minor leaguers coming on once the calendar turns to 2025!

Do not scratch your eyes. You are really seeing the most incredible finish here. The Tampa Bay Rays have indeed signed a catcher, free agent Danny Jansen, who will be making his third stop in the AL East after signing a one-year deal on Friday.

ALSO...the Rays have cleared one major hurdle in the public sector for their new stadium as the St. Pete City Council approved their half of the public funding, $287.5 million in total, on Thursday.

We would have loved for our 200th episode of Rays The Roof to be juuuust a bit happier, but with the uncontrolled chaos it seems going on right now with the Tampa Bay Rays, we just have to ride the wave. Tampa Bay sports media personality & St. Pete Nine's Steve Carney joined us to talk about what to expect with today's Pinellas County Commissioners meeting and more.

Recent news with Pinellas County has now created even more of a situation regarding Tropicana Field as potential funds for the new stadium on the Trop site is up in the air as a vote on the matter was pushed back three weeks, partly due to the current situation on where the Rays will play in 2025. While we don't know what will come of this, we do know more drama is in the air!
