Had an old friend stop by FBT, as we were joined by Rays' TV host @ryanbass.bsky.social to kick off our Team Preview series.

We'll be talking to insiders for all 30 teams over the next 30 days to get their insight ahead of spring training: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhfa...

It's official: #Rays say they have signed OF Jake Fraley, who was non-tendered last week, to a one-year contract. Fraley, 30, was originally drafted by the Rays 77th overall back in 2016.

From @ryanbass.bsky.social who posted this on that other site: "Pretty crazy stat: The #RaysUp and #DBacks - two expansion clubs from 1998 - face off tonight with the same number of wins since entering the league (2,100). They also have the same number of playoff victories (28)."

Cash was asked about his Opening Day starter options: "I'm gonna get on a two and a half hour ride home, and we'll talk through it on the phone with Eric (Neander). I think, right now, we're pretty positioned where just about all of them (Pepiot, Rass, Littell, Baz, Taj) are available to do that."

Kevin Cash on Shane McClanahan’s triceps injury: β€œVery unfortunate. He’s going to miss some time. We’ll have a better understanding once he gets some imaging done. You feel for the person, just for what he’s gone through...fingers crossed, it’s a shutdown of minimal time.”

#Rays say Shane McClanahan left today’s game with left triceps tightness. He’ll get imaging tomorrow.

Fittingly, Mac looked like vintage Sugar Shane in today’s session. Kevin Cash said he reached 94-95 mph on the radar gun:

β€œI think that's a pretty easy highlight for the first day,” Cash said. β€œTo see him throwing off the mound and looking like himself…we're fortunate that he's healthy and back.”

#Rays ace Shane McClanahan said β€œlast year sucked” in having to rehab from TJ surgery and miss competing with his teammates, but he’s fully back with no limitations:

β€œI missed it a lot, man,” Shane said. β€œβ€¦I feel good and I’m ready to go. Actually got a bullpen today, so excited to show the world.”

I asked #Rays Kevin Cash about Junior Caminero's offseason, visiting him in the Dominican Republic and 2025 expectations for the 21-year old, former No. 1 prospect who's basically a lock to make his first Opening Day roster:

The #Rays have moved Opening Day against the Rockies to Friday, March 28 at 4:10 p.m. at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa to provide additional time to prepare the ballpark for the home opener. Opening Day was originally set for Thursday. We’ll have all your coverage on FanDuel Sports Network.
