Every Monday, I join Beckles & Recher on Sports Radio 95.3 WDAE to discuss all things Rays.
This week, we discuss the acquisition of designated hitter Nelson Cruz from the Minneota Twins, and what it means from both a batting a defensive standpoint. We also go through a number of pitching trade possibilities, including why I think it’s unlikely that Max Scherzer could be coming to Tampa Bay, and look forward to the most important homestand of the season.

Steve Carney is the founder and publisher of St. Pete Nine. One of the people most associated with baseball coverage in Tampa Bay, he spent 13 seasons covering the Rays for flagship radio station WDAE, first as producer of Rays Radio broadcasts, then as beat reporter beginning in 2011. He likes new analytics and aged bourbon, and is the owner of one of the ugliest knuckleballs ever witnessed by baseball scouts.
