ST. PETERSBURG -- The first thing Junior Caminero thought when he was traded to the Rays in November 2021 was that he had done something wrong. Caminero was only 18 years old at the time, a little more than two years removed from beginning his professional career in Cleveland’s organization

ST. PETERSBURG -- José Ramírez is a seven-time All-Star, a six-time Silver Slugger, a former American League pennant winner, one of the best players in all of baseball and easily the face of the Cleveland Guardians' franchise. “J-Ram” is a bona fide superstar. But Ramírez has never been a World

ST. PETERSBURG -- Perhaps the Guardians aren’t supposed to beat the Rays, but don’t tell them that. They weren’t supposed to come back from being down 0-2 to the White Sox in the AL Division Series, either. For years, the Guardians have built their identity around José Ramírez, the homegrown

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays didn’t set their roster for the American League Championship Series on Sunday, but they made one thing certain: Shane McClanahan will not be part of it. McClanahan has been shut down for the rest of the postseason, manager Kevin Cash announced during Sunday’s workout at
