ST. PETERSBURG -- When Junior Caminero reported to Spring Training ahead of his first full Major League season last year, he was hoping to hit 30 home runs for the Rays. That looked like a humble target, in hindsight, after he went on to slug 45 homers. Caminero set no

ST. PETERSBURG -- Given all he has been through over the past three years, the idea of spending more time on the injured list was, obviously, not terribly appealing to Shane McClanahan.

ST. PETERSBURG -- With the Rays leading the American League East and owning the AL’s best record, there’s been a lot of talk about what kind of impactful acquisitions their aggressive approach to the Trade Deadline may yield over the next nine days. They’ll have a hard time making a

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays reinstated left-hander Steven Matz from the 15-day injured list on Saturday, hoping the veteran will return to form after missing a month due to a sprained left ankle. It’s been an up-and-down season for Matz, the 35-year-old lefty who signed a two-year, $15 million deal

ST. PETERSBURG -- It’s been a crazy couple weeks for Grady Emerson. Two weeks ago, he was sitting inside Marty B’s restaurant in Bartonville, Texas, when he heard his name called by the Rays as the No. 2 overall pick in the MLB Draft. He got a FaceTime call that

TORONTO -- The Rays added one of baseball's most exciting young prospects to their organization on Wednesday, as they officially signed shortstop Grady Emerson after selecting him with the No. 2 overall pick in this year's Draft. Emerson agreed to a $9.75 million signing bonus, sources told MLB.com. It is
