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 on Thursday revealed another part of their vision for a proposed “Forever Home” ballpark and mixed-used development in Tampa, releasing renderings of an office building that would be located just outside the ballpark. The club recently unveiled the first round of images illustrating their vision for

TORONTO -- There’s a quick way to determine if the Rays’ lineup is operating at its highest and most dangerous capacity. Start from the bottom. If the guys who hit after Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero are doing well, it’s generally safe to assume the Rays are, too.

TORONTO -- After seeing their starters struggle throughout a long weekend in Boston, the Rays sent the right man to the mound on Monday night.

BOSTON -- There is, at least, some good news for the Rays. They won’t play the Red Sox again until Sept. 18-20, the last regular-season series of the year at Tropicana Field, and Boston will probably lose a game before then. For those in search of silver linings, that’s just

BOSTON -- Victor Mesa Jr. is about as big a Lionel Messi fan as you’ll find in baseball. He wore a custom-made Messi jacket to Fenway Park on Sunday morning, and put on an Argentina shirt after the game. Ahead of Argentina’s World Cup Final showdown against Spain on Sunday

BOSTON -- When the Rays took a two-run lead against the red-hot Red Sox on a smoky, soggy Saturday evening at Fenway Park, manager Kevin Cash sensed the opportunity and moved to seize it. Yes, it was just the fourth inning. And sure, starter Ian Seymour had only thrown 61

BOSTON -- The All-Star break has come and gone, and the Rays are still the best team in the American League. But they ran into something even more dangerous during a long, frustrating day of baseball at Fenway Park: the hottest team in the Majors.

BOSTON -- Junior Caminero has started at third base in every game the Rays have played so far this season, and he wasn’t going to let a sore pinkie finger -- or a doubleheader -- change that Friday at Fenway Park. Caminero was in Tampa Bay’s lineup, batting third and

BOSTON -- After a convincing victory over the National League in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game, what better way for the American League to get back to action than sending the AL’s best team to face the league’s hottest team? How about exactly that, but with two division rivals playing four

BOSTON -- Evan Longoria doesn’t pretend to follow the daily ins and outs of every team in Major League Baseball. He’s enjoying retirement, after all. But the newly minted Rays Hall of Famer has seen enough on Instagram and follows his former team closely enough to pick up on one

ST. PETERSBURG -- If Evan Longoria had gotten his wish, there wouldn’t be a bright white No. 3 glowing inside a blue circle in the upper-deck seats near the left-field corner at Tropicana Field. It would have been No. 6, instead. When he was called up to join the Rays

ST. PETERSBURG -- Sitting inside Marty B’s restaurant in Bartonville, Texas, surrounded by everyone who helped shape him into the top-ranked prospect in this year’s MLB Draft class, Grady Emerson couldn’t hide his emotions.
