Friday, I joined Ariel Cohen, the host of Fangraph’s “Beat The Shift” Podcast to discuss all things Rays.
We began with a discussion of the return of fans and the retention of a number of rules from the shortened 2020 campaign. We then get into the Rays, about who has been the team’s MVP through the first two months of the season, how will Kevin Cash handle the closer situation, and will Wander Franco or Vidal Brujan get called up first.

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.
