Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The 2025 trade deadline has passed and the Tampa Bay Rays were certainly one of the more active teams.

• And just like that, the Rays look like deadline sellers: White Sox 11, Rays 9.

Jonathan Dyer-Imagn Images No matter how well everyone else does their job, two shaky pitchers throwing two terrible innings can lose a game for you. Englert, Boyle, and Baker were all just fine, covering 5.1 innings and allowing just one run. The Rays offense managed nine runs. That’s a lot of runs! It should be enough for a win. In fact it should be enough for TWO wins. But Taj Bradley...2025

Before we get to the game, let’s also mention a very frightening moment that occurred off the field. A foul ball off the bat of an Orioles hitter went straight bac...2025
