Mailbag Episode!
Will we get to see top prospects Carson Williams, Tre Morgan, and Chandler Simpson take the field as starters this year? We discuss their chances, potential impact, and what it would mean for the Rays’ lineup.
The Rays are one of the few MLB teams without a jersey sponsor for the 2025 season. What’s the deal? We share our thoughts on the impact this could have, and what it might say about the team’s branding, marketing, and future. Also, has Stu Sternberg soured on the fanbase? What will be his legacy? If he is graded on community outreach, stadium deal, on-field success and payroll, how would Rays fans grade him?

Rumors are swirling about a potential sale of the Rays to a Tampa-based investment group, but how serious is it? Sources indicate that while talks are happening, there’s no deal in sight. Could local ownership make Hillsborough County more willing to fund a new stadium? And more importantly, does this become a distraction for the players as the season approaches? WTSP Channel 10 Sports Director Evan Closky helps break it all down.
And, after seeing a baseball diamond inside Raymond James Stadium, does the idea of the Bucs’ home becoming a temporary baseball venue feel more realistic? Are the Savannah Bananas built for long-term success, or is their appeal going to fade?

Spring Training is in full swing, and the Rays sit at an even 6-6 as of this recording. Is that record telling us anything, or are there real concerns bubbling under the surface?
WTSP Channel 10 Sports Director Evan Closky helps break down the biggest takeaways so far—who’s standing out, who’s struggling, and whether any alarm bells should be ringing for the club as Opening Day approaches. Plus, we have another edition of “Closky on the Clock.”

Locked On Rays head to their first Spring Training game of 2025 together and get a firsthand look at the automatic balls-strikes system in action.
Plus, this gets us thinking how the Tampa Bay Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field could give the team an energy boost with a sold-out crowd closer to the action.
We also break down an early look at the Rays’ projected 2025 roster courtesy of WTSP Sports Director Evan Closky. Who makes the early cut, and who doesn't? We then wrap up with some baseball trivia and another round of Name That WAR!

Can he hold the fort, or will the Rays have a new face patrolling centerfield sooner than expected? Tune in for all the analysis and insight!

We dive into Curtis Mead’s scorching start to Spring Training. The former top-100 prospect is proving he’s more than just a utility guy—his bat is doing all the talking. With above-average bat speed, added muscle, and effortless power, Mead has been crushing the ball, including a mammoth shot over the Fort Myers’ “Green Monster” and consistent hard contact to deep right-center.
Is this the breakout Rays fans have been waiting for? We break down his potential impact, what his development means for the team, and whether he’s forcing his way into a bigger role in 2025.
Tune in and join the conversation!

The Tampa Bay Rays are stressing unity and uniformity after a frustrating 2024. We break down the team’s new push for accountability and camaraderie, including new clubhouse rules on uniforms, gear, and a more team-first mentality. Is this a reaction to past clubhouse issues? Then, we shift to the Rays’ offensive outlook for 2025. Can they find a way to score at least 700 runs after last season’s struggles at the plate? We analyze how key additions like Danny Jansen and Ha-Seong Kim, improved health, and how young talent like Jonathan Aranda, Curtis Mead, and Chandler Simpson could help spark the lineup.
Tune in for all that and more as we break down the latest from Rays camp.

Spring is in the air, and so is the heat coming from Joe Boyle’s right arm. We break down the Tampa Bay Rays' latest spring training developments, starting with Boyle lighting up the radar gun—hitting triple digits in 14 of 20 pitches against the Pirates. With no walks and plenty of swings and misses, could he be the Rays' next big pitching project? Kevin Cash and Kyle Snyder think he has the tools, but for now, Triple-A Durham seems like his next stop.
Then, Shane McClanahan made his long-awaited return, pitching for the first time since elbow surgery in August 2023. The lefty looked sharp, hitting 99 mph and shaking off rust like he never left. But how much can the Rays expect from him this season? Is a 150-inning, sub-3.30 ERA campaign realistic?
Tune in for all that and more as we break down the latest from Rays camp.

We break down the Rays’ unique approach to defensive versatility, with infielders shifting to the outfield to help fill gaps. With Josh Lowe and Jonny DeLuca as the only true full-time outfielders, the team is counting on players like Richie Palacios and José Caballero to handle outfield reps, especially in left and center.
We explore how Caballero’s speed and fall league experience in center field could factor into his role and whether Curtis Mead, Junior Caminero, or others could see time in unexpected spots.
Plus, we discuss the Rays’ $20 standing-room-only ticket initiative, which ensures fans still have an affordable way to catch games at Steinbrenner Field. How does this compare to past ticket deals, and what does it mean for attendance? Tune in for all that and more!

We dive into the mailbag to answer your pressing questions about the Rays! First, we discuss the impact of the team’s lack of veteran leadership on the pitching staff and how that could play out as the season progresses—especially when the playoffs roll around.
Then, we break down the hype surrounding Chandler Simpson, a prospect turning heads in spring training. Could he be a Billy Hamilto- type who actually gets on base, or is it too soon to tell? We share our thoughts on his potential and what we need to see before buying into the excitement.
Tune in for all that and more!

The automated ball strike (ABS) system has made its debut in MLB games...but just Spring Training. Fans will get the opportunity to see how this affects the pace of play and whether it is an enjoyable addition to the national pastime.
Only the pitcher, the catcher and the batter will have the opportunity to challenge a strike/ball by tapping on their head. Every team gets two challenges, which they lose when they are wrong and will keep if they are correct.

In this episode of Locked On Rays, we dive into the evolving Rays lineup and how Yandy Díaz could be shifted out of the leadoff spot. With Jonathan Aranda and Josh Lowe emerging as strong left-handed options, we break down what this means for the team’s offensive approach.
Next, we focus on Brandon Lowe’s tenure with the Rays and his potential path to becoming a franchise mainstay. With over six years of service time, he’s climbing the ranks of the longest-tenured Rays players. Could he join the likes of Ben Zobrist, Carl Crawford, and Evan Longoria as one of the all-time greats in Tampa Bay? We discuss his impact, legacy, and what the future might hold.

In this episode, we welcome back WTSP Channel 10 Sports Director Evan Closky to break down the latest Tampa Bay Rays storylines from spring training.
Can Eloy Jiménez crack 15 homers in his first season with Tampa Bay? Will Zack Littell still be on the roster when the season starts? We also take a closer look at Jonny DeLuca and Curtis Mead hitting the weight room—will their added strength translate to on-field success this season? Is that a result from their hard-hit % results from last year?
Also, baseball trivia and “Name That WAR” to round out a Fun Friday ep!

Last season, the Rays’ bullpen ranked among the best in the league in ERA (9th, 3.73), saves (4th, 51), and WHIP (6th, 1.19). But they also allowed the second-most homers (82) and finished just 10th in strikeouts (619). With a mix of returning fireballers and intriguing new arms, Tampa Bay is rebuilding its relief corps with power in mind.
In this episode, we break down the bullpen battles, the impact of new additions like Alex Faedo and Eric Orze, and whether high-velocity arms like Mason Montgomery, Hunter Bigge, and Manny Rodríguez can cement their spots. Plus, we discuss Pete Fairbanks’ future, Kevin Cash’s thoughts on velocity, and how roster decisions could shake out as Opening Day approaches.Will the Rays’ bullpen become a dominant force in 2024? Tune in for our analysis, roster projections, and inside notes from camp!

Opening Day is right around the corner, and the Rays have made their choice—Shane McClanahan is back as the ace. After missing the end of 2023 and all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery, McClanahan has impressed this spring, hitting 97-98 mph in live BP. But with his injury history, how much will the Rays manage his workload?
And off the field, Rays leadership isn’t holding back on their perceived issues with a new stadium deal. With fresh comments from Rays presidents Brian Auld and Matt Silverman, we break down the franchise’s frustrations and what it means for the team’s future in St. Petersburg.
